State Extension Leadership Council
The Virginia Cooperative Extension State Extension Leadership Council (VCELC) is made up of representatives from each of the 22 planning districts in Virginia, representatives of programmatic advisory groups, and administrators. The mission of the council is to advance and promote the educational program of Virginia Cooperative Extension.
The VCELC meets in person twice per year, and sub-committees conduct business throughout the year. If you would like to become a volunteer member of the VCELC, please contact Eric Kaufman at ekaufman@vt.edu or (540) 231-6258.
