Judy Ashford & Donna Stehling recognized for 10 years of service

Judy Ashford and Donna Stehling of Sauk County were recognized recently for 10 years of service on the Sauk County Agriculture and Extension Education Committee.

Donna and Judy recently was presented the award at the Wisconsin Associated County Extension Committees, Inc. (WACEC) annual recognition ceremony during the Wisconsin Counties Association Conference held recently in Wausau.

“Donna and Judy are examples of the successful relationship that we in Cooperative Extension have fostered with county board members and county government,” said Richard Klemme, Dean and Director of Cooperative Extension, a division of UW-Extension. “This strong partnership allows us to deliver educational programming to meet the needs of people in Sauk County.”

County governments work together with Cooperative Extension to provide local educational programs that address the lifelong learning needs of individuals, families and communities. Wisconsin residents get quick, convenient access to university research and knowledge through Cooperative Extension offices in every county and through staff on eight University of Wisconsin campuses. WACEC members advise Cooperative Extension about programs and encourage financial support for Cooperative Extension work.
