Happy New Year Laurie –
Thanks for the message. If I can be of help, I’d be happy to serve on the Professional Development Webinar Committee. I’m a tenured faculty member in Extension and serve as Associate Dean. Would that be of help? Excited to learn more about this group and become more active!

Caution: Non-NU Email
Dear Engagement Scholarship Consortium Member Representatives and Executive Committee Members,
1. Committee Members Needed
We still need a couple of additions to the Professional Development Webinar Committee. The Committee offers virtual professional development sessions several times each year, and these have been providing valuable development for our members. The Committee is seeking 2-3 additional members, including a tenured faculty member and a senior Extension staff member or public service faculty member. If you have someone at your institution in these roles who would mutually benefit from involvement in ESC, please email me.
3. REMINDER: Engagement Exchange Sessions for Engagement Leaders
These sessions are for ESC-member engagement leaders and/or staff or faculty working on key initiatives related to institutionalization and support of engagement (please don't share them in newsletters to your broad array of constituents). These are informal conversations for sharing what has worked as well as challenges to get advice or feedback.
How are Engagement Offices Addressing DEI in the Current Context
This session is an opportunity for engagement leaders to share how they and their institutions are approaching diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and access issues within the context of engagement in light of changes in the higher education landscape.
January 15, 2025 2-3pm Eastern Time

Compensating Community Partners
Compensating community partners is an ongoing challenge in many higher education institutions due to slow and complicated administrative processes that are constrained by regulatory and compliance requirements, among other things. In this session, leaders can share both institutional and specific strategies that they have tried in getting community partners paid for their contributions.

Metrics: How are You Documenting Impact of Community-Engaged Scholarship?
The white whale for engagement leaders is how to document and share the impact of the outstanding community-engaged scholarship our institutions produce in collaboration with community partners. Talk to other leaders about the metrics and outcomes being used to demonstrate the impact of this work.

Please let me know if you need accommodation for our meeting.
On November 19, 2024, there is a webinar entitled "The Process is the Prize: Reflections on High Quality Community-Engagement Partnerships and the Carnegie Community Engagement Application." To quote the description:
The Classification seeks to recognize institutions that demonstrate commitment and excellence in community engagement. As such, it requires a large body of evidence of meaningful and sustained institutional investment of systems and structures that support individuals, groups, and communities to work with each other for mutual benefit and in a context of reciprocal partnership.
In reciprocal and epistemically inclusive partnerships, there are collaborative community-campus definitions of problems, solutions, and measures of success. Community engagement requires processes in which academics recognize, respect, and value the knowledge, perspectives, and resources of community partners and that are designed to serve a public purpose, building the capacity of individuals, groups, and organizations involved to understand and collaboratively address issues of public concern.
And yet, in our engagement efforts, the community typically possesses less authority than the institution, and its assets are often overlooked or considered less essential. Despite progress toward more democratic practices, the dominant framework for university-community engagement continues to view the community as deficient and in need of fixing, and its residents as clients rather than co-educators, co-learners, and co-generators of knowledge;
This webinar considers why rhetoric and convictions often fall short of practice, and what we can do . It will explore: 1) Barriers that institutions face in pursuing reciprocity; 2) the benefit of focusing on "partnerships" rather than "projects" to achieve reciprocity; and 3) insights from experts who will share best practices in how to share authority, responsibility and accountability with community partners. Additionally, the webinar will provide key tips on how to weave the community's voice throughout the application and how to prepare your partners for the application partner survey.
To register for the webinar, please visit the Process is the Prize registration webpage<https://givepulse.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_eD95KCHcT3aHrLB8XuzjHw#/regis…>.
