Cooperative Extension Regions
The Cooperative Extension Section, under the APLU Board on Agriculture Assembly, is structured in five regions. Membership on ECOP committees and task forces is distributed across these regions as much as possible to assure balanced representation. The regions are internally organized into associations.
