Welcome to the National Association of Extension Program and Staff Development Professionals.  Our association is dedicated to the continued growth of Extension professionals.

The objectives of this Association shall be to provide an organized forum for extension program and staff development professionals who are actively engaged in, or have a strong commitment to, program and staff development in the Cooperative Extension System to come together (both physically and virtually) to:

• Improve communication and collaboration by discussing issues, needs and opportunities of mutual interest and building and sharing resources;
• Advocate for the profession by promoting its importance within the land grant system;
• Enhance multi‐state efforts;
• Discuss, develop, sponsor, and promote educational training programs and activities that advance sound program and staff development practices; and
• Advance the professional status of program and staff development extension professionals by encouraging continuous self‐improvement.
