BECOME AN IMPACT COLLABORATIVE INNOVATION FACILITATOR
REGISTRATION FOR THE JANUARY 2019 IMPACT COLLABORATIVE INNOVATION FACILITATOR TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT IS NOW OPEN
To help our member institutions generate a more visible, measurable, local impact – we provide training and development in the Impact Collaborative innovation skill-building process to Extension professionals so they can take these skills back to their institutions and help their local project and program teams find more innovative ways to move institutional goals forward. With the help of our Facilitators, we can continue to help bring new innovation to the Cooperative Extension System. This is a membership benefit included with every member institutions’ investment in eXtension.
This three-day training is designed to teach the Impact Collaborative Innovation Skill-Building Process and provide the skills necessary to facilitate this process in your own state and be equipped to serve as an invited facilitator of an Impact Collaborative State Event and at our national Summit.
Each institution’s Director or Administrator may select one member to be a Designated Free Trainee. Additional trainees are welcome to attend, but registration, travel, and lodging costs are at the responsibility of the institution.
We recommend that Directors and Administrators select Facilitators such as a program leader, or someone who works closely with their leadership team, who possesses strong confidence in their facilitation skills, and can be effective in working alongside their leadership team and other program leaders to catalyze innovation throughout their organization. At eXtension, embracing diversity is one of our core values; we encourage participation from individuals that share that same value.

- Three day training
