Flashback to '76

Sandra Davis was LaSalle County Associate Extension Adviser, Home Economics. She had earned a Bachelor's Degree in Education from Northern Illinois University in 1971. She also had a Master's Degree in Clothing and Textiles from Northern Illinois in 1974.  Sandy had been in LaSalle since 1971. She is also still employed by University of Illinois Extension!

Sandra continued serving as an Extension home economist for 21 years in LaSalle County. In 1992, Davis became an Extension Educator, Community Leadership and Volunteerism, with the Peru Extension Center and later with the Rockford Extension Center. In 2000, she returned to LaSalle County as the Unit Leader. In 2003 she joined the staff in Kendall County, where she served as County Director prior to her current appointment which is County Director in DuPage, Kane, & Kendall Unit.

If my math is correct that is about 46 years of service! Congratulations, Sandy, on a long and productive career with Cooperative Extension.
