FOUNDATIONS OF POLITICAL EFFECTIVENESS
WISLINE WEB “BROWN BAG” SEMINAR
Our recent economic climate has brought to the forefront the critical associations we have with our county, state, and federal funding partners. Building positive relationships with elected officials and other key audiences is essential...a part of every Cooperative Extension employees’ responsibility across all program areas.
A new core curriculum has been developed by the Political Effectiveness Work Group, a team of diverse Cooperative Extension faculty and staff. These resources are designed to strengthen county units, programmatic teams, departments/centers, and individuals’ navigate in today’s challenging environment. The Foundations of Political Effectiveness home page is:
