In the second part of this episode, the conversation on stages of professional development continues with our guests Ann Kowenstrodt (AK), Marla Lowder (AK) and Emily Swinyer (WY.) Conversation is based on the research of retired Extension Professional, Dr. Jim Rutledge, who asserted that 4-H Professionals move through 4 (four) developmental stages (Service, Educator, Manager and Leader) and includes exploration, insights and survival strategies. 

The final episode of this discussion focuses on the Manager and Leader stages of professional development.
