Program announcements to a specific, racially identifiable audience such as 4-H members, 4-H leaders, E.H.C. members, E.H.C. officers or Extension planning committee members are not required to contain the statement of nondiscrimination because the individuals addressed are already enrolled in an Extension program and are aware of Extension’s non-discrimination policies and have agreed to comply with such policies.

Our public notification efforts also include informing other organizations and groups which Extension works with of our non-discrimination policy and assuring that they also are non-discriminatory when they work with us.  See.  C.E.S.P 2-3 Notification to Groups of Non-Discrimination
