The Land Use Planning Community of Practice, a working group within the National Association of Community Development Extension Professionals (NACDEP), presents a professional development webinar entitled Connecting the History of Redlining to Contextualize Local Housing Policy Decisions, Wednesday, November 30, Noon-1pm Eastern.

Dr. Craig Carpenter will review the history and legacy of redlining as an important cause of present-day housing inequities. Despite this legacy, the policies and their lasting effects remain less well-known, and resultantly stakeholders are not making informed decisions. Dr. Carpenter will highlight a new resource - The History of Redlining in Michigan website - created to engage decision-makers in this history and help visualize the lasting effects in their community, tying present-day policy choices to whether they address the lasting effects of redlining. Finally, Dr. Carpenter will describe how others can create similar websites based on their state’s history of redlining. Policymakers in Michigan have been supportive of this work and its integration into housing and planning efforts.

Presenter: Dr. Craig Carpenter, Assistant Professor and Extension Specialist - Community Economics. Michigan State University Department of Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics

Date: Wednesday, November 30, 2022

Time: Noon-1pm Eastern; 11am-Noon Central; 10-11am Mountain; 9-10am Pacific

Hello NACDEP members!

First, a quick THANK YOU to the 30+ members who attended our October Wednesday Webinar. We learned a lot and really enjoyed the rich conversation.

The next Wednesday Webinar is next week, on November 9th from 12-1 EST

Russ Garner, of the Southern Rural Development Center, will present on:

"An Assessment: Using the Community Capitals Framework in Understanding Community Needs in Agriculture and Food Systems."

In 2021, at the request of USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), the four Regional Rural Development Centers were charged with developing a national Listening Session Initiative with the goal of appraising stakeholder priorities related to the community, economic, and workforce development of rural communities in the U.S.

To gain a better understanding of stakeholder needs the team utilized the Community Capitals Framework. This presentation will explore the methodology and results of that effort, with a focus on the topic area of agriculture and food.

Neighborhood Leadership Fellows

Claire Wolff Rippel & Dwayne T. James, University of Missouri Extension

Neighborhood Leadership Fellows is an advanced leadership training program developed by the University of Missouri Extension in partnership with University of Missouri - St. Louis and the St. Louis Economic Development Partnership. Launched in 2018, the program was created as a response to the racial and geographic disparities reported on boards, commissions, and in other civic decision-making bodies. The primary geographic focus area is neighborhoods within the federally designated St. Louis Promise Zone due to the well-documented need for more targeted investment there.

NLF selects 25 Fellows every year for a 9-month opportunity to strengthen their leadership muscles and build ties among their cohort in order to collaboratively create long-term systemic change. With the knowledge of communication, conflict management, data analyzing, community organizing, power-mapping, and advocacy practices, participants gain skills and strength to step into roles of power in the community. By having a seat at the decision-making tables and the training to serve, Fellows are positioned to move systems to affect change around diversity and equity. Increased community-driven leadership from neighborhoods in the St. Louis Promise Zone footprint ultimately will lead to equitable policies that produce positive revitalization, reduced segregation, and improved quality of life for all.

Connecting Entrepreneurial Communities-A Multi-State Showcase

The Connecting Entrepreneurial Communities (CEC) conference is a dynamic coalition that educates on entrepreneurship systems development. The conference deepens attendee’s learning by embedding highly interactive educational sessions within innovative local businesses. This model has been implemented, or is being explored, by Michigan State, North Dakota State, Pennsylvania State, University of Missouri, South Dakota State, University of Minnesota, University of Nebraska and New Hampshire Cooperative Extension.

In 2020, each partner saw significant need for, but challenges to providing, CEC programming. To respond, the coalition collaborated to host a weeklong virtual conference in November 2020. The resulting CEC Multi-State Showcase reached over 300 individuals through 28 sessions that provided new ideas, skills and connections.
Attendees indicated that they could apply ideas or skills learned at the conference in their community (97%), that they made new connections who can help them bring conference practices to their community (92%) and that they would attend the program if it was offered again (100%). The Showcase demonstrated a means for leveraging multi-state programming to connect local conference attendees to best practices and peers at a regional, or national level.
