Stakeholder Engagement (FY '07-11)

In preparing our five-year plan of work (Fiscal year ‘07-‘11) UMass Extension has initiated an ambitious process to obtain input from a variety of stakeholders and citizens who are interested in and value the work that Extension does. This 'Stakeholder Engagement' process will help us plan and implement programs that are responsive to state and local needs.

Stakeholder Engagement involves a variety of activities that will be reflected in our five year Plan of Work. They include:

• Web-based stakeholder survey
• Summary of secondary data - “Issue Papers”
• Public Forums
• Assessment of UMass Faculty Interests
