Autauga County Commission Honors Extension Leaders for Statewide Achievements
During its September 1, 2026, meeting, the Autauga County Commission presented a resolution honoring Kacey Powell and Darrue Sharpe, along with the dedicated staff and volunteers of the Autauga County ExtensionService and 4-H Program, for excellence in Extension leadership and youthdevelopment.
Darrue Sharpe, County Extension Director, received the “Eye of the Tiger Award,” which honors a County Extension Director who demonstrates exceptional initiative, innovation, creativity and leadership in developing or delivering impactful programs that address community needs.
Kacey Powell, County Extension Agent, was recognized by the Alabama Association of Extension 4-H Agents at its 2026 conference, earning first-place honors for Excellence in Healthy Living Programming and Excellence in Agricultural Literacy Programming for Autauga County’s 4-H Agriculture Day Camp.
She was also a member of a first-place Communicator Award team and contributed to an award-winning social media campaign highlighting 4-H’s lasting impact on local alumni and community leaders—including the success of one of Autauga County’s own 4-H members.
The Autauga County Commission congratulates Darrue, Kacey and the entire Autauga County Extension team and its volunteers for placing Autauga County in the state spotlight and making a lasting difference in the lives of our residents.
We look forward to seeing the fruits of their hard work continue to grow in the young people of our community.
