AD Update:
-Greg Davis, Assistant Director
Welcome back to work! Hopefully you were able to enjoy some special time over the holidays with family and friends. As you are sorting through your email, you may have noticed one from NACDEP regarding the 2017 NACDEP National Election Results. I am very excited to congratulate the recently elected (and re-elected*) national board members listed below who will begin their 2017-2018 terms when we meet in Big Sky, MT in June.
President Elect - David Civittolo - Ohio State University (three-year term)
Treasurer - Nancy Bowen* - Ohio State University (one-year term)
Secretary - Suzette Barta - Oklahoma State University (one-year term)
1890 Representative - Adam Hodges* - West Virginia State University (two-year term)
North Central Region Representative - Brian Raison - Ohio State University (two-year term)
Western Region Representative - Laura Reyser - Washington State University (two-year term)
This may be the first time in the history of NACDEP for three board members to be elected from the same institution; an indication of the high regard in which our colleagues are held. Congrats, David, Nancy and Brian!

Federal Reporting – RiV Due January 15
Did you know that every bit of data in OSU Extension’s Federal Report to USDA originates from the RiV ‘Extension Teaching’ section? And, that OSU Extension’s Federal Report to USDA yields us about $10 million annually? In addition to explaining how we have invested the $10 million, when you provide me ‘proxy’ access to your RiV, your reporting also informs our own program highlights and marketing efforts (previously referred to as the CD Accountability Report). I currently have proxy access for: Apaliyah, Blaine, Bond, Bowen, Civittolo, Corboy, Lucente, Lukshin, Moss, Nesbitt, Osborne, Raison, Romich and Wilson. To ensure your RiV reporting helps inform our program highlights and marketing efforts, please take these steps:
1) log into RiV
2) click on ‘MY ACCOUNT’ at the top
3) click on the ‘+’ to add proxies
4) please do so by January 15

January 19 at 2 p.m. Stakeholder Centered Community Marketing, Center for Community & Economic Development Kristin Runge, Community Development Specialist, University of Wisconsin, Madison |
The goal of community marketing is to make villages, towns or cities competitive and enable their stakeholders to thrive. Kristin will discuss a cooperative framework model for community marketing in which stakeholders take a central role in crafting a unique market position and a clear “brand” for their community.
Kristin Runge is co-leader of the Community Vitality & Placemaking team at the University of Wisconsin-Extension. As part of her work she conducts public opinion research and designs communication strategy for municipalities, county governments and economic development organizations. Her current projects include explorations of how citizen engagement and local media use affects community cohesion and the ways in which strong community brands affect place-related satisfaction for residents and other community stakeholders.
There is no registration and no fee for attending the NCRCRD hosted webinars. To join the webinar go to ncrcrd.adobeconnect.com/ncrcrd, “enter as a guest” is by default already chosen. Type your name into the text box provided, select “Enter Room.”
