Greenwood County Extension Agent Alisha Fisher will conclude her service as the county’s Family and Community Wellness agent on Friday, July 31.
Fisher will return to her home state of Nebraska, where she has accepted the position of Aging Services Program Manager for Seward County. In her new role, she will coordinate outreach, assistance, and educational programming for older adults across 11 communities and rural areas throughout the county. She will also work closely with the county’s three senior centers to provide wellness initiatives and life-enrichment opportunities
for older adults.
“There is so much I love about Greenwood County, but the people and the rel ationships I have built here will always be my favorite part,” Fisher said. “When I moved here a year and a half ago, I didn’t know a single person. Since
Alisha Fisher
then, I have built friendships and connections that I will always cherish. As in many rural communities, the people are at the heart of everything, and Greenwood County is a wonderful example of that. The love people have for this community is contagious, and I feel incredibly grateful to have been a small part of it.”
Fisher said the decision to leave Greenwood County was a difficult one, with the opportunity to be closer to family and friends playing a significant role in her decision.
She has served as Greenwood County’s Family and Community Wellness agent since Jan. 5, 2025.
The Greenwood County Extension Office is expected to post the position in the near future and begin accepting applications to fill the vacancy.
