Extension Council members are elected by the voters of Shelby County to serve four year terms. They oversee the planning, preparation, marketing, and delivery of the extension educational program in the county. Every county in Iowa has an extension council. Extension councils provide, through a unique partnership with Iowa State University and other federal and state organizations, research-based, unbiased information and education to help county citizens make better decisions.
The Extension Council meets the first Tuesday of every month, except July, at 6:00 p.m. at the Extension Office in Harlan.
