are responsible for developing, maintaining, and enhancing relationships within the district. This includes working closely with county boards of commissioners on budgets and other matters related to the work of MSU Extension, telling our story to partners and organizations, and ensuring that we are not the best kept secret, but a known and trusted partner within the communities we serve.

You will lead efforts to recruit and hire staff and will work in partnership with MSU Extension Institute Directors to develop, coach, and mentor staff, and when applicable, address personnel matters. The district director’s role operates within a unionized setting and requires an ability to interpret and apply labor relations practices and collective bargaining agreements.

This position may be eligible to utilize a flexible work environment; however, there is an expectation to work from a MSU Extension County office located within district 13. The needs, responsibilities, and opportunities of an individual’s position and office location drive the ability and amount of work-location flexibility.

The initial appointment is for one year in the fixed-term academic appointment system. With satisfactory performance, nine months into the appointment a two-year extension will be provided at the end of the first year. Thereafter, the incumbent will be considered for additional three-year fixed-term appointments.
