AACES
Professional Association of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Specialists (AACES)
AACES works with administration and other extension organizations to enhance our specialists' working experience and strengthen the agency. Each year, AACES recognizes outstanding extension work through annual awards, and members have the opportunity to participate in professional development, community service projects and social events. Through AACES, members learn more about extension and each other.

| The annual AACES Fall Festival is full of fun, food, and frolicking! Above some of our specialists strike a pose before the party begins. | Our popular "Beans, Brains, & Things" are quarterly employee professional development programs. Committee members obtain speakers and host a lunch either catered or potluck. Join the committee to get involved! | Our annual bake sale is held in the spring just in time for Valentine's Day! |
