However, there are significant differences between the two, particularly in terms of mission, funding, and financing. In this sense it is important to make the distinction between business management and the process of managing and leading an organization. In the case of the Public Universities we can’t make a profit or compete with private industry but we are obligated to the taxpayers to budget our true costs and to recover those costs, unless we are a genuinely “taxpayer funded service”.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Last week in this column I addressed the general economic impact issue in a broad context by describing the estimates of an overall economic impact analysis study with 2011 data from CALS Cooperative Extension. This study revealed $197.7M in economic impact that included the creation of 2,348 jobs and $10.7M in state and local government revenue impact over a 10 year period. Within CALS Cooperative Extension I often address the topic of economic impact and the financial value of the organization with basic facts. For example, we know that the direct allocation to the Cooperative Extension enterprise in CALS in the 2012-2013 Fiscal Year (FY13) consisted of $10,826,100 from the State of Arizona and $1,946,935 from the federal government for a total of $12,773,035 appropriated funding. We also know that over the past several years the total annual expenditures from CALS Cooperative Extension has been approximately $32M. Thus, we can see that we have a “leveraging” or an enhancement of ~2.5 for total funds in Cooperative Extension from our base state and federal allocations. Some folks will refer to that as the “return on investment, ROI”. But as I understand, that might not be technically correct, so I will refer to this as a “leveraging” of funding.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Based on a recent accounting, we know that we have at least 601 people employed in CALS Cooperative Extension with 244 people fully or partially funded on state and federal funds and the additional 60% funded on extramural grant and contract funding. Accordingly, we can make the case for the “leveraging” with the CALS Cooperative Extension programs to include the creation of at least 357 jobs directly within this organization. It is also important to point out that an accounting of the extramural funding being derived from programs by Cooperative Extension personnel represents 49% of the total extramural funding generated across the entire college in FY12.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>From this basic information I can offer a few simple points: 1) CALS Cooperative Extension faculty and staff are providing a good ROI from our allocated funding, 2) Cooperative Extension programs are productive in relation to all other elements of the college, and 3) we see a strong level of leveraging and enhancement of funding and financial productivity across all program areas in Cooperative Extension. I fully recognize this is a rather conservative approach to evaluating economic impact and it does not capture a complete or accurate picture obtained in a full economic analysis. We also know that not all benefits are measured directly in terms of dollars and cents, but in the ways we are improving people’s live and communities. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Thus, we have a real need to improve our capacity to conduct a systematic economic impact analysis from Cooperative Extension programs and be prepared to make the case, which the Dean and I are called on regularly to do to communicate this impact to our key stakeholders. Fundamentally, our basic fiscal goal is to utilize our funding from all sources in an efficient and productive manner.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>FOCUS ON PROGRAMS: <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>April is Water Awareness Month (WAM) and it's not over yet!

Sadly their work is so deeply embedded in the community that it can go unnoticed. Let’s change that! On May 2, communities, organizations, and caring people around the globe will join together for a day of celebrating and honoring youth workers called “Thank a Youth Worker Day.” According to Brian Durand, co-chair of the Thank a Youth Worker Day Committee, “Everyone can point to a youth worker who had an impact in their life. Let’s thank those who mentor our youth and celebrate their contributions to our communities.” Join the celebration by bringing Thank a Youth Worker Day to your area. Find tools to host an event at the <a href="http://www.thankayouthworkerday.com/">Thank a Youth Worker Day website</a> and consider taking a moment to call, write, or personally give a word of thanks to youth workers you know who are such invaluable assets to our society.
