The Living Our Values series for Illinois Extension staff is designed to explore and celebrate the core values that guide our work and define our impact: Collaboration, Credibility, Inclusivity, and Learning. These sessions help to enhance a shared understanding of the values that drive Illinois Extension's mission, provide practical insights and examples of how staff can apply these values through daily work, and foster a stronger sense of community and alignment among Extension staff across the state.
