AgrAbility staff presented to the University of Georgia agriculture and natural resource agents about AgrAbility at their quarterly meetings held during the beginning of February. Staff was able to present to over 100 agents from the northeast, southeast, and southwest areas. New referrals have already resulted from the presentations.


Georgia AgrAbility has been using software called Asana for client management since 2015. Asana is a free project management software that can easily be converted for use in case management. On February 24th, staff shared with other SRAPS about the benefits of Asana and gave participants an in-depth look at Georgia AgrAbility's Asana. During the meeting, staff also demonstrated the basic steps that other states can take to build their own Asana case management system. If others are interested in learning about Asana or have questions, email staff at farmagain@uga.edu.
