NUEL Capacity Building Team
Fellow: Cayla Taylor, Iowa State University Roadmap NUEL
Fellow Report:
The purpose of this project is to strengthen communication strategies, tools, and methodologies for National Urban Extension Leadership through the identification of information or messaging NUEL should be targeting towards each audience, and what communications tools should be used to communicate effectively with each identified audience. The Fellow and graduate students who are working on the project both started in December. The Fellow met with the NUEL Steering Committee on December 14 in Chattanooga, TN to discuss the project and begin collecting needs for communication and capacity building purposes. As a result of that conversation, NUEL put together a team to work on beginning to develop a communication plan at the January 18-20 Extension Foundation Impact Collaborative The NUEL executive committee and fellow met with our NTAE catalyst Fred Schlutt in January. The team also talked about using Connect Extension as a primary mode of communicating with the national Extension System. ● Reviewed the Communications and Marketing KI’s assessment of the current website and Connect Extension group use in order to develop a plan for use of Connect Extension to develop an Urban Extension /NUEL Connect Extension group. ● Created the Urban Extension/NUEL group, including developing a basic description of the site, some initial connections, and a calendar of events. ● Developed an inventory and organized NUEL Google drive as a companion site for the Connect Extension site to be used for document storage. ● Reorganized the NUEL website so that it can be a companion site for the Connect Extension site. ● Created a plan for the remainder of 2022 for content development for the Connect Extension site.
