Success StoryData for the “Extension Transition”



Data for the “Extension Transition”

Author: Julie N. Zimmerman

Planning Unit: Community & Leadership Development

Major Program: Staff Development

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Prior to COVID-19, Cooperative Extension had begun a process to conceptualize and implement a new administrative structure.  Part of these changes included moving from a structure of 7 multi-county Districts to one of 3 regions with smaller multi-county areas within each region.  To help the 3 newly hired Regional Directors to gain a better understanding of the counties within their regions, with Cameron McAlister, we used the recently completed “2019 County Profiles” from Kentucky: By The Numbers data series and created 11 x 17 mini posters for each region containing 14 maps of key variables including population projections, data on aging and youth populations, families with children, poverty, income, education, agriculture, and race/ethnicity.  The 42 maps were combined with a detailed map of each new region with county names and the designated multi-county areas.  In addition, 11 x 17 mini posters were also created providing detailed county population data for the three regions and multi-county areas within each region.  The mini posters were distributed to each of the newly hired Extension Regional Directors and were well received as a helpful tool as they sought to better understand the counties that would be under their direction.
