This poster describes a deliberate effort to design and conduct a high-quality train-the-trainer effort that shared a Minnesota Extension program with professionals from other states. This poster will share the process used to customize a train the trainer session for five states on a community economics program program. Keys to the success included understanding each state’s Extension structure, participant’s understanding of an economic analysis tool (IMPLAN), how participants wanted to use the program upon return, involving them in the delivery of a program, and allowing adequate reflection and planning time following the emergence experience. Our evaluation method of the training included end of session discussions, interviews with the training team, end of session evaluations, and a follow-up survey of outcomes. Our efforts focused on enhancing the capacity of our colleagues to allow them to build the capacity of leaders in their communities. We were successful in our efforts to train others, but in addition we learned a great deal that has led to program innovations.Item Economic Impact of Projects Leveraged by the Minnesota Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit in Fiscal Year 2014(University of Minnesota.

In this poster, we describe our experience in launching, assessing, modifying, and improving a program called the Economic Futures Workshop. We share our lessons learned and explain the ways in which other Extension program teams can learn from our successes and failures. We consider the ways in which the program needs to continue to iterate and how we expect that process will occur. The Economic Futures Workshop is a program offering delivered by the Community Economics team. The purpose of the workshop is to provide local decision makers with information about the structure and performance of their local economy. This is done by providing a summary of basic economic and demographic information, as well as, providing information about the variation in economic impact among ten community-selected industries. We conduct a short presentation of the above information and follow that presentation with a structured facilitated discussion about the meaning and implications of the information. The program has changed in significant ways in its first 5 years of existence. The program was originally developed in response to community questions about their economies. However, leading community conversations about data can be challenging. Notable improvements came as a result of evaluations, follow-up interviews with sponsors and Extension staff, and deliberate tests of new approaches by the program team. The nature, results, and key processes which led to these changes are the topic of this poster.Item Ripple Effect Mapping of the Tourism Assessment Program(University of Minnesota Extension, 2013-10) Bhattacharyya, Rani; Templin, Elizabeth; Messer, Cynthia; Chazdon, Scott; Hermanson, LisaMinnesota’s Tourism Assessment Program (TAP) analyzes a community’s tourism potential. The program includes identification of tourism assets by the community, a site assessment by visiting team of experts, and written recommendations developed by the University of Minnesota. Using ripple effect mapping, we engaged program participants and other community stakeholders in focus groups to identify intended and unintended outcomes and impacts of TAP. Mapping the changes provided stakeholders a powerful visual of the progress they have made toward their tourism development goals. Several long-term impacts have been documented in three main areas: (1) increased community cooperation, (2) enhanced marketing efforts and, (3) expanded attractions. By coding results of this study within the Community Capitals Framework, we hope to show each community how their involvement in the Tourism Assessment Program and subsequent development efforts could be targeted to have greater impact in supporting the long-term sustainability of their communities.Item Understanding Faribault's Economy(University of Minnesota, 2016-11) Templin, Elizabeth; Tuck, Brigid
