Advisory Council
The establishment and regular meeting of a Regional Vocational Agriculture Consulting Committee can make the program of instruction an integral part of communities through the infusion of agriculturally knowledgeable citizens participating in the vocational agriculture education planning process. The committee provides an important communication link between the agricultural work force of the region and the operating Board of Education. This linkage is considered to be an essential ingredient to inform educators of current and future employment needs and to assist in the design of the regional vocational agriculture program to meet identified needs.
A Regional Vocational Agriculture Consulting Committee is a formally organized group to advise the operating Board of Education on matters pertaining to the program of vocational agriculture. The members selected to serve on the committee are recognized for their knowledge of agriculture, related occupations and education.
