The AACAAS Extension Development Council strives to enhance the professionalism of our members by providing opportunities for strengthening their leadership and educational delivery skills. One common thread among AACAAS members is the fact that we are all Extension agents/educators. Therefore, it is imperative that our organization strengthen and continue to offer training in the process of how to become better extension professionals. The AACAAS Extension Development Council is composed of four (4) subcommittees:

• AGRICULTURAL ISSUES/PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE 
  

This committee shall, in conjunction with NACAA, develop, organize and conduct activities to keep AACAAS members informed on public relation and agricultural issues that can impact NACAA, AACAAS, Extension and Extension's clientele. 

• EARLY CAREER DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE 

This committee is responsible for encouraging AACAAS membership among new Extension employees. The committee should contact new employees to make them aware of benefits of AACAAS membership and coordinate activities and recognition of new members.

• LEADERSHIP & ADMINISTRATION SKILLS DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE 

This committee shall, in conjunction with NACAA, organize activities that will encourage AACAAS members to work for professional improvement, advanced study and in-service training on topics and issues related to developing and improving administrative skills.​

• TEACHING & EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE 

This committee shall, in conjunction with NACAA, develop, organize and conduct activities to keep AACAAS members abreast of the latest teaching and communication techniques, communications technology, and issues related to Extension's teaching and communication responsibilities.
