What an amazing day at the Annual Epsilon Sigma Phi (ESP) Alpha Lambda Chapter Meeting!

We’re grateful for a gathering filled with rich professional development opportunities, meaningful conversations, and a chance to celebrate the incredible work happening across Extension.

A huge highlight of the day was our ESP Auction, which raised over $1,000 to support the chapter and future programming—thank you to everyone who donated, bid, and helped make that possible!

We also took time to honor our hardworking Extension professionals and retirees, whose dedication continues to make a lasting impact in our communities. Your passion and service truly inspire us.

A special thanks to:

Bryan Overstreet, our outgoing president, for his leadership and service

Katie Whiteford, our incoming president—we’re excited for the year ahead

Steven McKinley, our new secretary—welcome to the leadership team

"For nearly 30 years, Art handcrafted the famous ESP Key. Over the years, he has made many other cherished woodworking recognition items honoring dynamic leaders and their service in ESP, Extension, 4-H and beyond. We couldn’t be more grateful for his leadership in ESP, and for the timeless gift he is to so many of us."
Great highlight video of our very own Art Redinger!

Thanking Art Redinger for sharing his talents in woodworking with ESP by making the President's key.
