Rice County Extension Council

The County Extension Council is composed of 24 members. In Rice County, 8 are elected from each of the 3 County Commissioner Districts. Six are elected from each of 4 program areas: Agriculture, Family & Consumer Sciences, 4-H & Youth, and Economic Development. Each is elected to serve 2 years and may be elected to serve 2 2-year terms. These six members in each of the 4 program areas are called Program Development Committees. All citizens of voting age are eligible to vote in the at-large election. This election is to be held not earlier than September 1 and not later than 10 days before the annual meeting of the council.

At the annual meeting, the council elects from its own members nine people to serve on the executive board, consisting of a chair, vice chair, secretary, treasurer, and five other members. One member from each of the 4 program development committees must serve on the executive board, with 3 members from each County Commissioner District.
