Respondent Program Areas Respondents were asked to identify all the primary program areas in which they worked. The percentage of program areas are presented for each institution type (Table 4). The mean number of program areas selected by individuals was 1.58 with a minimum of 0 and maximum of 11 (SD=1.45). Initial responses to other resulted in the addition of eight areas which were not included as options in the original survey. These are Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; Energy and Climate Issues; Entomology; Food Science and Systems; Program Funding (Grants, Contracts, Securing, Managing, etc.); Support staff; Urban programs; and Generalist. A small number of other responses in other suggest that some of our traditionally labeled program areas need to be subdivided. These include Agriculture and Natural Resources, which should be broken to Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Forestry and Health and Nutrition which could be divided into separate Health and Nutrition program areas. Other listed in this table was a volunteer in the role of Deputy City Clerk.
Table 4 Program areas of respondents organized by type of institution. Program areas followed by * were added after data collection because of a number of similar responses to the "other" category. They are not included in the "other" count.

Across all institutional types, the Agriculture and Natural Resources program area is most highly represented by survey responses. The broad area of Family and Consumer Sciences is second highest across all institutions and in 1890 institutions but is tied with 4-H Youth Development for 1862 institutions.
