However, in the United States, there is a disconnect between the level of concern individuals have about climate change and the extent to which individuals talk about the issue. To help bridge this gap, the University of Minnesota Climate Adaptation Partnership developed a training program aimed at inspiring and equipping local community members across Greater Minnesota with the skills and confidence to have effective conversations about climate change in their communities. This paper summarizes the programmatic activities we used to support our goals, and some reflections on the program's results. This pilot program provides a framework for future efforts that can be facilitated by Extension programs, community-based organizations, universities, and others to inspire and accelerate similar community-centered climate conversations. The data included herein are from a survey distributed to program participants at the beginning and end of the program. The survey includes questions related to participants' perceptions of climate change, confidence in communicating about climate change, and satisfaction with the program. Data are both qualitative (short answer and multiple choice), and quantitative.Item Northwest Minnesota Cellulosic Fuel and Product Industry Forum: Current Practices, Future Possibilities(University of Minnesota Crookston, 2007-04-10) Kingery, LindaItem Northwest Minnesota Local Initiatives Energy Meeting: Community-Based Energy Potential(University of Minnesota Crookston, 2007-08-21) Kingery, LindaItem Northwest Minnesota Wind Energy Development Workshop Set for Aug. 3, 2006(University of Minnesota Crookson, 2006-07-20) Kingery, LindaItem Northwest Partnership now accepting proposals for community projects(University of Minnesota Crookston, 2019-12-16) Kingery, LindaItem Northwest Regional Partnership's Local Foods Website Provides Connection to Local Producers(University of Minnesota Crookston, 2005-08-23) Kingery, LindaItem NW RSDP Most Significant Change(2014-05) Venegas-Swanson, Tatyana; Kingery, Linda; Navarro, RuthItem Regional Partnership focuses on Sustainable Development(University of Minnesota Crookson, 2005-12-28) Kingery, LindaItem Student Readiness for Conservation Careers: Identifying critical skills needed for success in the 21st century natural resource conservation workforce(University of Minnesota Extension, 2018) Meyer, Rebecca; Meyer, Nathan; Kingery, Linda; Clarke, RoseThere is a growing variety of research, management and innovation opportunities in conservation fields. Knowing what organizations will expect in terms of professional capabilities is important for directing the continued education, growth, and development of young adults and early career professionals. Unfortunately, these are not well known. Most existing inventories were developed through theoretical or retrospective analyses of pre-existing jobs and position descriptions. To guide preparation of successful next generation of professionals, we endeavored to pivot this perspective 180 degrees to explore how current new employee performance and future trends in conservation can inform a revised set of critical professional skills and abilities. An interdisciplinary research team synthesized a list of skills and abilities from existing research. We interviewed a purposeful sample of nine conservation professionals, representing a range of agencies, disciplines, and organization types about skills and mindsets that contributed to her/his success, experiences with new employee success, future trends in conservation work. From these interviews, we synthesized a group of four trends likely to influence next generation conservation career mindsets and skills, as well as a framework of eight critical skills and mindsets for early career development of 21st century conservation professionals.Item U of M Crookston Celebrates Public Engagement Day, Thurs., Apr. 17, 2008(University of Minnesota Crookston, 2008-04-04) Kingery, Linda; Tollefson, ElizabethItem University of Minnesota Extension and Northwest Regional Sustainable Development Partnership to offer a high tunnel and season extension workshop in Crookston Minnesota on April 10(University of Minnesota Crookston, 2008-03-18) Kingery, Linda; Diaz, CarrieItem "Up for Discussion" begins Thursday, Feb. 15 and runs through March 8, 2007(University of Minnesota Crookston, 2007-02-01) Kingery, Linda; Holthhaus, Gary
