    Impacts of a Bridging Cohort Leadership Program: Network Brown County
    (St. Paul, MN: University of Minnesota Extension Service, 2011-10) Rasmussen, Catherine; Armstrong, Jessica; Chazdon, Scott
    Network Brown County is a leadership education program that brings together groups of 15-20 Brown County residents of diverse backgrounds for nine one-day sessions. Participants meet new people, discover new places in the county, broaden their knowledge of community resources, and increase understanding of issues facing the county. To date, six annual cohorts have completed the program. This study sought to determine participant-identified outcome success and impact of Network Brown County using the Community Capitals Framework, and to measure impacts using participants, as well as community stakeholders, as data sources.

    Measuring the Impact of Leadership Development Using the Community Capitals Framework
    (St. Paul, MN: University of Minnesota Extension Service, 2009-10) Rasmussen, Catherine; Armstrong, Jessica; Chazdon, Scott
    This poster presents the methodology and findings from a recent impact study of the Network Brown County program. Network Brown County is a leadership education program that was initiated by Extension in 2002. The program brings together 15-20 Brown County residents from a variety of communities and backgrounds for nine one-day sessions. Participants gain personal and community leadership skills, build networks and broaden their awareness of issues facing the county. The study used a semi-structured interview protocol to measure the impact of the program participants on the human, social, political, cultural, economic, natural and built environment capacity of the county. Findings from program alumni were supplemented with interviews with community stakeholders who had not been participants in the program.
