The Southwest District CES Civil Rights Plan was implemented by the Otero County 4-H agent in the following manner:
All newspaper and radio articles presented by the 4-H office included the statement: “All Otero County 4-H programs are open to all youth ages 9 to 19 regardless of race, creed, sex, color, handicap, religion, or national origin.”
All correspondence from this office included the statement: “New Mexico State University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer and educator.”
Otero 4-H County Council By-Laws state, “Membership consists of all Otero County 4-H members and leaders regardless of race, color, religion, sex, age, handicap, or national origin.”
Otero County Cooperative Extension office is making every effort to make sure all 4-H literature disseminated by this office is labeled, “New Mexico 4-H is a program of New Mexico State University’s Cooperative Extension Service. New Mexico State University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer and educator. NMSU and the U.S. Department of Agriculture cooperating.”
