Last September, at the Galaxy III conference in Indianapolis, I was very pleased and honored to receive NACDEP’s Individual Award for Excellence in Community Development Programming for the “Public Value of Public Programs” workshop. Unfamiliar with NACDEP, the National Association of Community Development Extension Professionals? You shouldn’t be! Check out the NACDEP website.
Are you attending the Galaxy III conference, September 15-19, 2008, in Indianapolis, IN? I will present a short version of the “Building Extension’s Public Value” workshop as a “Skill Building Session” at the conference. Join me Tuesday, September 16, 3:30-5:00. If you’ve never attended a public value workshop, this will be a good introduction to the program. If you have attended one in the past, it can be a refresher course and a chance to see and use the new program curriculum.
Also, in the spring of 2009 I will offer the third online training for Extension professionals interested in learning how to use the “Building Extension’s Public Value" curriculum to conduct workshops in their own states. Participants in the Galaxy III session will have enough information to decide whether they would like to attend the upcoming online training.
