Extension officials have confirmed that Renae Riedy will begin serving as the Geary County family and consumer sciences extension agent, effective Sept 16.
Riedy earned her bachelor’s degree in human ecology from Kansas State University. She has most recently been employed as a family resource management extension agent for K-State Research and Extension Chisholm Trail District in Abilene.
Family and consumer sciences agents develop and deliver educational programming related to family, finance, and health. Programs may include, but are not limited to, family life, nutrition, food safety, parenting, communication, financial management, leadership, and health.
Local extension faculty are jointly employed in a partnership between K-State Research and Extension, headquartered on the Kansas State University campus in Manhattan, and the local extension board.
