Steering Committee Plans Greene Leadership 2013

November 14, 2012

A series of leadership workshops is coming to Greene County in early 2013, thanks to a local steering committee partnering with Greene County Extension to design and plan the program. Greene Leadership 2013 is a six-session course designed to help participants develop leadership skills and networking abilities for both career and community.

Greene County residents are encouraged to participate in a new Iowa State University Extension and Outreach initiative – Mid Life & Beyond: The Whole Picture.

March 28, 2012

The average retirement age nationally is now 62 with a life expectancy of 78 years (Minino, Heron & Smith, 2006). The 2010 census showed 51% of Greene County residents were over the age of 45, so this is very timely initiative for our county.
