“Throughout my 10 years as a county director, I have had a chance to work in Greene County with some awesome leaders and stakeholders. I had a chance to assist in improving county policies, establish the Greene Community Garden, Elaney Woods Farmer’s Market, and be a member of various county and state boards. I have met some great and inspiring people in Greene County and at NC State University and NC A&T State University. My staff over the years have been great to work with and have contributed to numerous impacts in the communities of Greene County. I appreciate all the support that I have received during my career and it is my hope that Greene County Cooperative Extension will continue to be a stellar organization improving the lives of Greene County residents,” Ford said to The Standard newspaper.
