Summary: Establishes policy requiring annual certfication of nondiscrimination by Extension Homemaker Clubs, 4-H units and Master Gardener groups.

Pursuant to the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service Compliance Plan, county faculties will obtain written assurances of nondiscrimination from the president of each Extension Homemakers Club (E.H.C.), the main leader of each 4 - H unit, and Master Gardener group. These assurances will be submitted annually on form A.F.F.A.C.T. - 513 (for E.H.C.), form A.F.F.A.C.T. - 662 (for 4 - H Clubs) and A.F.F.A.C.T. - 663 (for Master Gardener) and maintained in the county files for three years.

If the president/main leader refuses to submit the written assurance, the County Extension Agent - Staff Chair will notify the club in writing that the club will no longer be serviced by the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service.
