Stephen Van Vleet has received the 2016 Distinguished Service Award from the National Association of County Agricultural Agents.

The award is given to Cooperative Extension educators with more than 10 years of service who have exhibited excellence in their work.

“It’s a nice honor because it’s an award that shows that you’re working with the growers and … addressing the needs of the community,” said Van Vleet, a Washington State University Extension educator based in Colfax.

He has worked for WSU Extension since 2005. Read the rest of the story here.
