Q2 Quarterly Reports NTAE Year 4

● Meetings

Please share other ways in which you have shared information or professional development about your program with Extension professionals: ● Via a quarterly meeting with other urban ag educators from Purdue and Wisconsin ● Monthly IL Local Food Systems and Small Farms State Team Meeting ● Monthly Cook County Ag and Natural Resource team meetings

Were you able to meet with your Coach, Catalyst(s) or Key Informants in this quarter? Yes

Experience(s) working with your Coach, Catalysts and/or Key Informants as applicable: All the help can sometimes be overwhelming. It is especially difficult when you've carefully planned your time and then are suddenly asked to do more/answer questions/attend more meetings/respond about another publication you didn't know would be taking place. It is also confusing tracking who's who amongst all the helpers. Looking ahead to the next question in this survey I can honestly say I don't know for sure who counts as Publications and who as Digital Engagement and who as Marketing so I know I can't really answer that question very well.
