Manage episode 474319520 series 3652706
This is a Google Notebook LM Audio Overview (i.e., "deep dive" discussion) of an article published in the Journal of Human Sciences and Extension on "Extension’s Response to the Change in Public Value: Considerations for Ensuring Financial Security for the Cooperative Extension System" (https://doi.org/10.54718/BWRZ4634). The article explores the financial challenges facing the Cooperative Extension System due to shifts in public funding and the increasing influence of neoliberalism. Elliott-Engel and colleagues examine how administrators perceive these challenges and the resulting need to demonstrate public value and return on investment to stakeholders. Strategies for securing funding, such as emphasizing evaluation, grants, and fees for service, are discussed alongside the importance of stakeholder relationships and effective communication. Ultimately, the paper highlights the adaptive leadership required to navigate this changing landscape and ensure the financial security of Extension.
