Opportunity this fall for University of Minnesota Extension staff

Because the Building Extension’s Public Value workshop began at the University of Minnesota, you might think that UM Extension staff are all familiar with the public value approach. Surely, most of us are. But for newer Extension staffers–and not-so-new staffers who have never participated in a BEPV workshop–this year’s fall program conference provides an opportunity to learn the basics. Below is the description of the BEPV mini course that Aimee Viniard-Weideman and I will present as a concurrent session on October 4. I hope to see many of you there!

Your Program’s Value: Tell it like it matters:

Have you ever had a great opportunity to tell someone who matters about the value of your program —but you just didn’t have the right words at the right time? Do you need a little help making the case for how your Extension program makes a difference in Minnesota? Here’s your chance to develop key messages you can share with key stakeholders about the pubic value of your program. Laura Kalambokidis has trained Extension faculty members across the country to develop messages that matter. Take advantage of this opportunity to participate in an abbreviated version of her nationally recognized program and learn new ways to influence your key stakeholders.
