Quarterly Reports NTAE Year 3 Qtr 3

Experience(s) working with your Catalysts and Key Informants: Fred Schlutt continues to be supportive and attended the May NUEL steering committee meeting. Aaron Weibe has been an invaluable resource in helping Cayla and NUEL with the webpage and the Connect Extension group. NUEL/Cayla could not have made near the progress that it has without Aaron's help. Rose Hayden-Smith recently converted the urban Extension e-Fieldbook into the flipping book format making it easier for NUEL to update, and keep updated, this professional development resource. We anticipate working with her in the next quarter on the updating of this e-Fieldbook. Megan Hirschman and Molly Immendorf have both been very helpful in NUEL's work around the Urban Agriculture and Food Systems Program Action Team. The whole Extension Foundation team has been great to work with. They have always been very willing to help us with whatever we need to keep our project moving and to ensure our success.
