Sherri, We have the state divided into 3 regions. two regions have 31 counties and one has 33. We list our Regional Director positions as PhD preferred, MS required with degree in Ag, FCS, Education or closely related. One regional office is housed with an Experiment Station, and the other two are located in their own offices. They do not have offices on campus. County Director positions require a Master's degree.
