Allison Jonjak Role Transition
We are thrilled to announce that Allison Jonjak has transitioned to a new role this summer with UW-Madison, Division of Extension. Allison was previously 50/50 research and outreach, and she will now be 100% outreach and education. In this new role, Allison will have increased capacity to focus on education and outreach related to critical challenges in cranberry production. She will work directly with UW-Madison researchers within UW-CALS and USDA, and in partnership with crop consultants, handlers, and other industry partners, to serve growers and researchers. As she begins this new role, Allison is eager to expand her relationships with the cranberry industry across Wisconsin. We hope you’ll have a chance to get to know Allison better, and the resources she can provide in connecting to UW, as she visits marshes across the state this summer.
Thank you,
Heidi Johnson, Agriculture Institute Director & Anne Pfeiffer, Crops and Soils Program Manager, UW-Madison, Division of Extension
I am excited in my new role to focus on working with growers on cranberry production techniques. Keeping a tight feedback loop between growers and researchers is my primary goal, and I will do this by stepping out of the Tyvek and refreshing my relationships with growers and researchers alike.
I want to take this transition as an opportunity to visit all the marshes that are willing to show me around. I will be joining consultants and scientists on ride-alongs in the coming months, and I’d also welcome the opportunity to come visit directly. Send me an email ( allison.jonjak@wisc.edu ) or text ( 612.276.2872 ) to schedule a time. Do share this invitation with Wisconsin growers who don’t get the CCMJ, as my mission is to connect with all cranberry growers.
Looking forward,
Allison Jonjak, Cranberry Outreach Specialist, UW-Madison, Division of Extension
