[CED] Cooperative Extension Economic Impact Data

[Kirk Astroth]

12 January 2012

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

As you may know, an outside consulting firm, Tripp Umbach, has been engaged
to assist the University of Arizona at articulating its economic impact on
the state of Arizona and the region.  Interim UA President Eugene Sander and
Dean Burgess have asked Cooperative Extension to provide some data about the
size and scope of our efforts to bring in extramural funding, engage
volunteers, and create jobs in Arizona.  

 

Specifically, we have been asked to identify only those funds coming from
outside the state that add value to our work.  The time frame against which
we need to report is the past 10 years.

We have determined that we can best provide this information centrally, and
we can report for each of the county and tribal offices without requesting
you to provide information as well.  We plan to report against the six (6)
areas in the CALS strategic plan.  As we collect this information, we may
have a need to contact some of you for some specific details or
clarification.  However, you will not need to report any county-specific
data separately.

 

We have been asked provide this information by the end of the month.  We
look forward to telling our story of how we bring in resources that impact
every part of the state.  We'll let you know if we need your assistance but
rest assured that we plan to pull together all the information here
centrally.

 

Kirk
