This interactive session explores the benefits of joining professional organizations, including access to resources, mentorship, networking opportunities and skill development. Ideal for attendees seeking career growth, the session uses live polls, group discussions and scenario-based activities to help attendees reflect on their goals and identify how organizations can support their success. Participants will gain actionable insights on evaluating and selecting organizations that align with their needs, strategies for maximizing membership value, and a renewed perspective on the importance of professional connections.
Consumer trends have grown the need for up-to-date research-based food preservation information. Everyone is looking for ways to learn how to safely keep fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs from their gardens or for their purchases at the local farmers market. The Nebraska Extension Food Safety team has updated webpage information, developed electronic food preservation newsletters, and developed lesson plans to meet these needs. Session participants will learn the importance of identifying correct home preservation methods; become introduced to lesson plans to teach preserving grape jelly (easiest), canning tomatoes (easy), and pressure canning carrots (a bit harder). Participants will learn where to find hands-on activities to use with secondary students and where to find free research-based recipes.
