- Open Letter to ANREP Membership from Larry Biles
- With this note I extend a proud and humble thank you for the Meritorious Service Award presented at ANREP IV in honor of my years of “behind the scenes” work in nurturing the formation and subsequently the management of the Association of Natural Resource Extension Professionals (ANREP). The push for ANREP began as a concept in August 1991 in Eugene, OR. Since that time Natural Resource Extension Professionals have wrestled with the development and adoption of by-laws, election of officers, collection of dues, formation of committees, solicitation of membership in the Joint Council of Extension Professionals, planning and conducting four bi-annual meetings, and somewhat recently, sponsorship of the Galaxy Conference. Watching ANREP grow in respect and prowess is one of the more memorable aspects of my work in Washington, DC.

- Conducting a membership survey can provide valuable guidance to the organization in determining its future directions. Timing such a survey prior to a strategic planning effort can give all members input into determining priorities for the organization and increase the chances that their input is valued and acted upon. This survey information was a cornerstone of information used for the Association of Natural Resource Extension Professionals’s (ANREP) strategic planning conducted six months following the survey.

- I am happy to be here with you. Having spent half of last year in CSREES-NRE, I feel like I am home again. Your conference theme, “Revolutionizing or Evolutionizing Extension Programming?” is particularly timely.
