2024 Texas Community Futures Forum
Developing educational programs based on community needs is the foundation of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension’s success.
Our ability to meet educational needs depends on knowing what citizens see as their issues that impact their lives. There is no way to know the answers to these questions unless they are asked. The Texas Community Futures Form (TCFF) is designed to do just this.
