Leadership Development Group

• To help better coordinate and build leadership
  development efforts in Cooperative Extension,
  several individuals formed an informal group 
• This group is working to better understand the
  number of leadership development programs that
  are happening across Kentucky and find ways to
  enhance leadership development and leadership
  development programs in Cooperative Extension.
• As a first step in achieving these goals, the
  group decided to conduct a census of leadership
  development programs.
• County Extension agents were surveyed to assess
  their involvement in leadership development
  programs.

• Conducting the Survey
• The survey was sent to the County Extension
  Agent Listserve.
• Two weeks later, a second round was conducted
  and the survey was resent to the County Extension
  Agent Listserve.
• For the 30 counties who did not respond to
  either inquiry, a personalized group email was
  sent to agents in each county office with the
  original survey included.
• After these 3 contacts, 112 counties in total
  responded, leaving only 8 counties that had not.
• Phone calls were made to the remaining 8
  counties.

Conclusion

• Given the large number of Chamber/Extension
  partnerships in leadership development programs,
  it is not surprising to see fewer programs in
  areas without local Chambers of Commerce
• Similarly, more programs in Eastern Kentucky
  reported working with non-Chamber groups
• Because of the high number of Chamber/Extension
  partnerships, many programs follow a similar
  model
• These results suggest both room for innovation
  and a unique contribution of Cooperative
  Extension in leadership development program, even
  in counties with existing programs.

15
Follow-up

• Develop online access to survey results both
  overall results and clickable map to access to
  county responses to enhance networking
  opportunities across counties
• Develop a resource on leadership theory and
  guidelines for conducting leadership development
  programs as well as develop curriculum modules
• Explore avenues for providing a leadership
  development institute for county agents
• Leadership development training for County
  Extension Councils
• Leadership development training program with
  Southern Kentucky Ag. Dev. (SKAD)
