Because of concerns about its ability to meet the shifting demands resulting from changes in today's society, the Virginia Extension Homemakers Council (VEHC) undertook a systematic program to change its organizational structure. In 1983, representatives of the VEHC and the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service (VCES) met to identify the causes underlying the significant drop in the VEHC's membership and to develop strategies to reverse this drop. An extensive statewide study of the problem was eventually conducted in 1985. The findings were reviewed by committees representing the VEHC and VCES and incorporated into a series of recommendations for changing the organizational structure of the VEHC. A second statewide investigation (the subject of this report) was conducted to identify the reactions of the VEHC's membership, leadership, and extension agent advisers to the proposed recommendations for organizational change. Responses were received from 208 of the 260 clubs and 92 of the 100 extension agents surveyed. A less than 80 percent approval rate was obtained for the changes proposed for 11 aspects of the VEHC's organization, including resource management (79.1 percent approval), target audience (69.8 percent), membership categories (50.0 percent), name change (23.8 percent), and hiring of a marketing consultant (23.2 percent). Despite these figures, it was decided that plans for all of the changes should proceed, with the sole exception of the name change. It was decided, however, that three task forces representing different functional and hierarchical levels of the VHEC and VCES should be formed to implement the planned changes. (MN)
