Fisher Wins Golden Star for Work with Extension Service

Alma Fisher, Human Resources Development instructor, received the Golden Star Award from the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service.

Alma Fisher, Human Resources Development instructor, received the Golden Star Award Nov. 20 from the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service's Expanded Foods and Nutrition and Education program (EFNEP) for her assistance over many years.

Within her work with ASPIRE (Assessing Strengths, Promoting Integrity, Retaining Employment) program at A-B Tech, Fisher includes EFNEP as in integral part of the coursework. Her students are taught everything from how to set goals and overcome barriers to how to cook nutritious, inexpensive meals.

When EFNEP changed its curriculum in 2006, it would no longer fit into the ASPIRE syllabus. Fisher worked for two weeks to find a way to continue the partnership. "Today EFNEP and ASPIRE are partnering more efficiently and successfully than they have ever partnered in the past," according to her nomination.

"Alma has identified opportunities for the educational resources of Cooperative Extension in general and EFNEP specifically to be made available to her students," wrote Kenneth Reeves, Buncombe County Extension Director. "I appreciate all that Alma has done in support of our program."
