2021 State Flex Profile

New staff contact information can be submitted on the New Contact Form page.

It is that time of year once again to update your State Flex Profiles. You should have received an e-mail from a TASC program specialist with a word document that contained your current profile information. We ask that you make changes to that document, with track changes on, and return to cbell@ruralcenter.org. If you opted in to allow TASC to use your end-of-year report, we may use that information to fill in some gaps. Once updates have been made we will convert your profile to a downloadable PDF that will be attached to the top of your profile page.

Peer sharing is a powerful tool! Many of you have expressed interest in becoming more familiar with the Flex activities of other states, and now is the time to share information about the great work you are doing. The State Flex Profiles are some of the most frequently accessed pages on the TASC website. Key partners and the public also want to know about all the fantastic work you are doing to benefit the rural communities in your state through the Flex Program!

Please complete your State Flex Profile by January 24, 2022. After review by TASC, each state's updated profile will be accessible and printable from the TASC website.

Instructions

If you did not receive a word document or need to make updates at any other point in the year, please use the form below. In order to make this process easier, you may want to copy and paste some of your information from last year’s profile and/or from your work plan and make changes as necessary. To view your existing Flex state profile, choose your state from the list on the Flex State Profiles page.

This form does not allow you to save your progress. Please look over the form and be sure you have all the information before filling it out. Please complete the form in its entirety. The more details you include, the more critical information you will be providing another Flex Coordinator who may wish to engage in similar work.

Please spell out acronyms and abbreviations the first time they are introduced.

If you have questions about this form, please contact Caroline Bell at cbell@ruralcenter.org
