I asked John for his evaluation of Dr. Jones. I thought it worth
sharing
with Vision2020.

Hello Tom,
<br>
<br>
I am sure you saw the message that I forwarded to you yesterday from
George Young at Auburn. In reality, that pretty well telescopes what
other comments I have gleaned and my personal observation of Steve
Jones. The thing hit the Raleigh paper yesterday, and I saw that Steve
is knocking down $180,000 annually, so he is one of the high fliers
around here.
<br>
<br>
Tom, Steve is seen as a friendly, affable person who relates to folks
at all levels, whether in groups or individually. He has demonstrated
a keen sense and energy for building partnerships here on campus, in
state government and with industry. This coalition and partnership
building is a hallmark of his successes here so far. He came into a
role that was expected to roll all extension efforts under one main
office. So, since Cooperative Extension is the 800 pound gorilla and
in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, there has been some
ticklish moments in weaving all of the entities together in a more
unified fashion from the whole university. Steve has taken a very
measured and conciliatory approach that has not left lasting harm or
ruffled feathers as he has forged a very workable relationship with CES
as well as the other entities. So, his ability to collaborate and be
flexible has proven to serve him well.
<br>
<br>
Steve is known for looking for funding sources via grants, gifts, and
other shared funding with industry and other institutions. He has
established this reputation everywhere he has worked. Also, in this
regard, he has sufficient vision and broad thinking abilities to make
things happen without upsetting the apple cart in the process.
<br>
<br>
Tom, from my personal perspective as well as that from others, this is
the way we see Steve Jones. To be honest, I think you would do well to
consider him very seriously.
<br>
<br>
You take care my friend, and if I can be of further assistance, please
let me know.
<br>
<br>
John
