Today was a pretty big day for me. Today was my first day in my new job as Shawnee County Extension Director! I couldn't really talk about it till now, because I was just too excited and I didn't want o jinx it. Who knows, maybe the board would change their decision and just have me continue as 4-H agent.
I moved into my new office today, I got new business cards and I was introduced to the Shawnee County Commissioners as the new Director. No Take Backs now! LOL
I have enjoyed my eight years as Shawnee County 4-H Agent but I knew that I would eventually like to do something that had more responsibility. It is why I pursued my Master's degree in adult learning and leadership. Since this blog marks the milestones at Meerpohl Manor I wanted to mark the day I started this new journey in my career. I adore my office and Shawnee County and once again I am lucky to be able to grow professionally in the same office that has supported me for the last 10 years.
It was a good day and I want to thank all of those people that have believed in me. Extension has given me friends from all across the state and I'm excited to see what I can do in this new role!

Congratulations. Sad to see you go as the 4-H agent though.
