Fellowship
There are many benefits to ESP membership. Perhaps one of the greatest is the opportunity to fellowship and learn from Extension colleagues across the state and nation. ESP membership is open to agents, specialists and administrators regardless of subject matter assignment. In effect, ESP is an “umbrella” organization that brings all Extension professionals together.
Professional Development Opportunities
Professional development opportunities for Omega Chapter members include the opportunity to participate in an annual national ESP conference, in the Southern Regional Joint Council of Extensional Professionals Conference (JCEP), and in the Public Issues Leadership Development Conference (PILD). If you are interested in participating in any of the above opportunities, contact your ESP Vice President or visit the National ESP Web Site.
