NACDEP Summer 2022 Newsletter

NACDEP Colleagues: Greetings and welcome to the summer 2022 edition of the NACDEP newsletter. It was wonderful to get together in Indianapolis. There were times during the lockdown when I wondered if we would ever be able to have these kinds of events again.

We have a nice and informative summer newsletter for you and I hope you will read all the entries. Remember, it takes contributions from members like you to make the newsletter a success.

And speaking of your contributions, this is the final call for you to complete the survey on the NACDEP Conference in Indy. I want to extend a special thanks to all of the attendees who have already completed it, and encouragement to those of you who attended but have not submitted it yet. Here is the link: https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eKgShCDbVGuGlHn

Wow! An Exciting Time in Extension Community Development and NACDEP

Wow! What an exciting time to be an extension community development professional! Last month, we met in person for the first time in two years, and it was so good to see old friends and meet new ones in real life. Let’s give a hand to the Indy conference team; they did an amazing job. I think we all left Indianapolis exhausted but re-energized. Check out the conference highlights.

Now we get to keep that momentum going and create the wow in the year ahead! Has everyone had the opportunity to sign up for a committee? If not, you can learn more about committee opportunities at this link. Email committee chairs with questions or to join. If you want to get involved but don’t know where to start, email me at [email protected].

We also need people to help with the 2023 conference in Idaho. We especially need people to help organize the presentation sessions. Email Katie McFarland ([email protected]) to learn more.

Beyond where we’ve been (Indiana), where we are (working together through committees), and where we’re going next (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho), there are other reasons to be excited. We work for extension—bringing university resources to people all across our states and country. The conference presentations and posters showcasing your work demonstrate your commitment to your communities. You tackle tough issues and wicked problems, and you bring people together. You build them up into strong communities that celebrate the strengths their diversities provide. You help them create resilient economies and vibrant arts, culture, and food environments.

One more time--Wow! You’re amazing! I’m so excited that I get to work with and serve you this year.

This Year the Regional Rural Development Centers (RRDCs) Celebrate its 50th Anniversary by Honoring the Enactment of the Rural Development Act

Submitted by Carmen Kelly
Southern Rural Development Center

The Rural Development Act was passed into law on August 30, 1972, to unify multiple rural development initiatives into a single piece of legislation which, along with many outcomes, led to the Centers’ establishment. The RRDCs play a vital connecting role in rural America, linking the research and educational outreach capacity of the nation's public universities with communities, local decision-makers, entrepreneurs, families, farmers, and ranchers to help address a wide range of rural development issues. Throughout the year, the RRDCs collaborate with key partner organizations who have taken actions to formally recognize the Centers’ significant contributions over the past 50 years and anticipate their leadership roles in the continual vibrancy of rural America.

Additionally, the Centers are hosting programs to highlight the successes and impacts of their first 50 years of service to rural America and to prepare for the emerging opportunities and challenges of the future.

The country’s four Regional Rural Development Centers are:

"Naturally Florida" Celebrates One Year

Submitted by Lara Milligan

Naturally Florida is a podcast teaching about Florida’s natural areas and the wild things that live there. Lara Milligan and Shannon Carnevale with UF/IFAS Extension Pinellas and Polk Counties, respectively co-host the podcast…

It seems podcasting is slowly creeping its way into Extension as another tool to increase our reach. As we celebrate one year since the launch of our podcast, “Naturally Florida”, we thought it would be appropriate to share our reflections on the experience, and perhaps inspire you to start your own.

From 2015-2020, we offered a “Wildlife of Florida” webinar series as another way to reach our clientele. When the pandemic struck, we were already well versed with webinar productions and decided to jump at the opportunity to try something new and different for extension: podcasting.

After talking with other podcasters around the state, the same general advice kept coming up, “Just start!”. A little easier said than done, but after a lengthy amount of research on equipment, platforms, and process, we followed the advice we received. On June 21, 2021, “Naturally Florida” was launched. It was a nerve-wracking, but exciting experience.

“Naturally Florida” launched with three-episodes and a commitment to publish one new episode every month. We have stuck with this goal and now have 16 episodes published with over 10,200 plays. The last three podcast episodes have an average download rate of 74 within seven days of release indicating performance among the 25% of podcasts on the market[1]. It has proven to be an amazing outreach tool, far surpassing our reach with webinars. Not only have we expanded our reach in terms of number, but we are reaching new clientele not previously reached with more traditional extension programming.

Recently, we saw a switch in our demographics from a female dominated listening audience to a male dominated listening audience. The latest data shows the listening audience is 53% male, 45% female, and 2% non-binary. We have also been able to reach a significantly younger clientele base than traditional extension programs. The age data shows 95% of the listening audience is under the age of 60 with 56% under the age of 34.

Due to the difficult nature in which to evaluate the success of a podcast, we trialed the publication of a short episode asking listeners to complete a brief survey. This episode had 272 plays, and faculty received 22 responses for an 8% response rate. Results showed 82% reduced

the amount of pesticides used in yard care, 64% installed native vegetation to improve wildlife habitat, and 50% removed an invasive species from their landscape. These results highlighted the potential impact of “Naturally Florida”.

“Naturally Florida” was designed to reach Florida residents and visitors who are dependent on natural resources but may be unfamiliar with the state’s ecology and ecosystems. We research, plan, record, edit, publish, and promote each episode. Topics covered to date include native and invasive species, stormwater, urban forestry, and fire ecology.

Please consider sharing Naturally Florida with family, friends, and colleagues to help us reach more people with critical natural resource information. And you can consider starting a podcast of your own! Naturally Florida is available on all major podcasting platforms. More information, including a media kit with downloadable flyers is available at www.naturallyfloridapodcast.com.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us: Lara Milligan, [email protected] or Shannon Carnevale, [email protected]

 

 



View My YouTube series on the War in Ukraine


Thomas W. Blaine, PhD
Associate Professor
Ohio State University of Extension
NACDEP Newsletter Editor

As many of you are aware, I initiated a YouTube series in 2021 with Ohio State University called Earth is Our Home, where I examine existential threats to our civilization.  I recently added a three-part series examining the War in Ukraine, as I have taught and traveled extensively in Ukraine, I speak the Russian language, and have perspectives that I would like to share based on my experiences, observations, military background and education in foreign affairs. I visited the war zone in 2015 and 2016, just between one and two years after the first war when Russia took Crimea from Ukraine.

I invite you to watch the three half hour segments of the series, which provide insight about the causes of the war, the role of the United States, and the threat of escalation to the use of nuclear weapons, as well as the most realistic way to bring about a peaceful conclusion to the fighting. I invoke the method of Realpolitik, placing practical considerations at the forefront rather than ideological or moral assessments.

In part 1, I discuss the long and tangled history of Russia/Ukraine since the Middle Ages.  Ukraine did not exist as an independent country until 1991.  On the other hand, Medieval Russian Tsars ruled from Kiev, now the capital of Ukraine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa6vb40ztJw

In part 2, I explain why the war is not just a war between Russia and Ukraine, but a proxy war between Russia and NATO, which essentially means between Russia and the United States.  I display a screen capture from Russian television where the commentators show a map revealing that Russia could destroy three European capitals (Berlin, Paris and London) in less than 4 minutes from launch with its nuclear Sarmat RS 28 rocket.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEv_zA_ni7w

In the third and final part I discuss the most realistic way to end the war.  It is through direct diplomacy between the US and Russia.  As is always the case in diplomacy, each side must be prepared to give up on things they value, and it is likely that no one will be satisfied with the results, including Ukrainians.  But if both sides pursue this route, Ukraine will be able to keep its independence and we will all be able to avoid a nuclear catastrophe.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNPfuLkFrrw

The series is also available on the NACDEP YouTube channel.

Feel free to contact me with questions of comments on the series, and to share with colleagues, clientele, and the media.  My email is [email protected] and my phone is 330-466-7877.

Sincerely,

Tom

Join us in congratulating our 2021 NACDEP Award Winners!

Submitted by Tamara Ogle

We will feature a few of our national winners in each newsletter.  This is another opportunity to share some of the great community development work of our NACDEP members. 



Oh, the Places You Will Go with NACDEP!
Susan A. Kelly, 2022 Distinguished Career Award Winner

I never could have imagined, that finding a NACDEP flyer after doing a Google search for “community development extension”, would have changed the trajectory of my career in Extension. From serving NACDEP as a committee member, to committee chair, to regional representative, to conference co-chair and finally in the three Presidential positions, I have been able to learn the organizational roles and grow as a professional through that process.

During my career in Extension, I have always been an extension director with a community development appointment. To me, this work has been most satisfying because of the impact that can be made using community development strategies that I learned through study but also from my colleagues in NACDEP. To be able to see organizations form and strengthen, facilitate important community conversations, help entrepreneurs start small successful businesses has been a highlight of my career.

Now that I am Assistant Director of Extension, County Operations, at North Carolina State University, I hope to continue to influence others in understanding Community Development Extension work and how valuable it can be to our community partners. I believe that NACDEP should continue to work. to bring those county directors or others with part time CRD appointments into our family, as there are a large number of them who would greatly benefit from the professional development and networking NACDEP offers.

Receiving the Distinguished Career Award last month was the honor of my career and I sincerely thank all NACDEP members for the love and support I have received over the years. I

look forward to going back to committee work and enjoying serving the best professional association in Extension!


2022 NACDEP Innovation and Creativity Team Winner and Creative Excellence Award Sponsored by JCEP

Building Capacity for Economic Development in Indian Country

Fawn Sampson, Jason Schlender, Dawn Newman, Xinyi Qian, Bruce Schwartau, Holli Arp, DeeDee LeMier, Rani Bhattacharyya, Jody Horntvedt, Lisa Hinz, Ryan Pesch, John Bennett, and Neil R. Linscheid

The University of Minnesota Extension Center for Community Vitality received a matching grant from the United States Economic Development Administration to support economic development work with Tribal Nations in Minnesota from 2019-2021. We started by hiring new American Indian staff to work alongside our Educators who were ready to engage in new ways to broaden and deepen the way we connect to and work with Indigenous communities.

The work we accomplished during the grant period has changed how we approach our work and how we strive to center Indigenous values and people in the planning, design and delivery of programming.  Several themes emerged that are important to our Center throughout the process and going forward. They include:

  1. Developing relationships across cultures
  2. Collaborating and developing networks
  3. Providing education support and training to new audiences

Developing relationships across cultures: The emphasis on relationship building and placing Dakota and Ojibwe cultural values to the forefront of the work put the focus on us, as University staff, to better understand the context around community and economic development in and around Tribal Nations who share geography with Minnesota. Our early projects helped us find a niche and work to build trust in a variety of areas. The Minnesota Indigenous Leadership Network provided a platform for Indigenous communities to connect to the University. Hosting a variety of Open Conversations helped us develop visibility by providing an accessible and useful forum for people to connect to each other on challenges related to development. The podcast,Indigenized Connections on Air, focused on sharing the leadership journey of Tribal leaders across Minnesota and hear their views on the most pressing issues in economic development. These efforts and conversations initially opened doors to other possibilities and continue to do so.

Collaborating and developing networks: While this builds off the first theme it focuses more on understanding networks of which Tribes were a part. We explored the issues or challenges they wanted to address, made connections to other external networks and resources, and created working relationships that led to opportunities for future collaborations on programs and projects. The virtual conference Indigenizing Economic Growth: Facilitating Connections and Cooperation in Indian Country in Minnesota is a good example of how we approached this work. The work we did to build relationships with Tribes to better understand their approach to economic development introduced us to entrepreneurs, Tribal government support services, community leaders, Tribal colleges, 1994 Extension programs, and resources focused on economic growth. The conference itself was an opportunity to showcase some of the innovative enterprises being developed in Tribal communities, explore some of the challenges for development, and engage in extended conversations about what type of development is currently happening to explore possibilities for the future.  It served as a way to reshape the discussion away from a deficit approach to an asset-based approach focused on exploring all the exciting opportunities underway in Indigenous communities across Minnesota. This was important for us as an institution to understand, but also an important key to shaping how we will continue to partner with Tribal Nations in Minnesota.

Providing education support and training to new audiences: The Open Conversations Program was a key educational focus that helped communities frame issues that affected them and explore ways to use that information to develop stronger networks and collaborative teams.  The open conversations were a starting point for deeper work in and between Tribes and organizations across the state. We are currently creating educational programming with one of the casinos which is helping them address their workforce and leadership development issues and pave the way for employees to grow in place. Additionally, our developing relationships with the Tribal colleges and regional universities will help us connect resources to a development agenda through professional certificates and training.

Due to this intentional work, more than half of our educators are now engaged in communication, projects or programming in and around Tribal communities. We believe this is just the beginning of our shared programming which will strengthen and grow in the future.

We also would like to recognize a few of our 2021 Winners:

Connecting Entrepreneurial Communities-A Multi-State Showcase

The Connecting Entrepreneurial Communities (CEC) conference is a dynamic coalition that educates on entrepreneurship systems development. The conference deepens attendee’s learning by embedding highly interactive educational sessions within innovative local businesses. This model has been implemented, or is being explored, by Michigan State, North Dakota State, Pennsylvania State, University of Missouri, South Dakota State, University of Minnesota, University of Nebraska and New Hampshire Cooperative Extension.   

In 2020, each partner saw significant need for, but challenges to providing, CEC programming. To respond, the coalition collaborated to host a weeklong virtual conference in November 2020. The resulting CEC Multi-State Showcase reached over 300 individuals through 28 sessions that provided new ideas, skills and connections.

Attendees indicated that they could apply ideas or skills learned at the conference in their community (97%), that they made new connections who can help them bring conference practices to their community (92%) and that they would attend the program if it was offered again (100%). The Showcase demonstrated a means for leveraging multi-state programming to connect local conference attendees to best practices and peers at a regional, or national level.

2021 NACDEP Diversity Team Award Winner

Neighborhood Leadership Fellows
Claire Wolff Rippel & Dwayne T. James, University of Missouri Extension

Neighborhood Leadership Fellows is an advanced leadership training program developed by the University of Missouri Extension in partnership with University of Missouri - St. Louis and the St. Louis Economic Development Partnership. Launched in 2018, the program was created as a response to the racial and geographic disparities reported on boards, commissions, and in other civic decision-making bodies. The primary geographic focus area is neighborhoods within the federally designated St. Louis Promise Zone due to the well-documented need for more targeted investment there.

NLF selects 25 Fellows every year for a 9-month opportunity to strengthen their leadership muscles and build ties among their cohort in order to collaboratively create long-term systemic change. With the knowledge of communication, conflict management, data analyzing, community organizing, power-mapping, and advocacy practices, participants gain skills and strength to step into roles of power in the community. By having a seat at the decision-making tables and the training to serve, Fellows are positioned to move systems to affect change around diversity and equity.  Increased community-driven leadership from neighborhoods in the St. Louis Promise Zone footprint ultimately will lead to equitable policies that produce positive revitalization, reduced segregation, and improved quality of life for all.
