In Arkansas, we use the title County Staff Chair. The Staff Chair has the 
same classification and salary range as other agents; however, the Staff 
Chair is given a small stipend (based on scope of supervision) for assuming 
administrative responsibility for the county office. The Staff Chair 
position is not reserved for internal candidates only. In-Rank Promotion is 
our career ladder process, and the In Rank Promotion process for agents and 
Staff Chairs is the same. I've attached our agent compensation policy in 
case you need more information.

Until New Orleans...

Subject: Assistance - County Extension Director information

Greetings:

I am wondering if you’d mind sharing a few details about the classification 
of the role of County Extension Director/Coordinator in your respective 
states.  Specifically, the following information:

1)	Is this position considered to be in the same classification as 
Agents/Educators?
2)	Is the salary range the same for the CED/CEC and Agents?
3)	Are the County Director/Coordinator positions reserved for internal 
candidates (current employees)?
4)	Do you have a job family/career ladder for either position?  And if so, 
the salary promotional amount to move from one level to the other.

Thanks so much for your help.  I can summarize and share with the group. 
Looking forward to seeing you all in New Orleans.

Chris
