Virtual Chat here on Connect Extension! A conversation with Dr. Dave Campbell.

May 8th, 2020 marks the 106th anniversary of the passage of Smith-Lever, which created the Cooperative Extension Service. In this special virtual chat featuring Dr. Dave Campbell, University of California Professor and Extension Specialist Emeritus, we explore the meaning of our work in communities and what this time of crisis calls us to.

@David Campbell a political scientist, is Community Studies Specialist Emeritus in the Department of Human Ecology at the University of California, Davis. He retired in July 2019 after serving 29 years with UC Cooperative Extension, the last five as an associate dean for social/human  sciences in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. The goal of his research and extension work is to deepen the practice of democratic citizenship in California communities. Taking community planning and service delivery systems as the unit of analysis, his research illuminates the policy dynamics and collaborative mechanisms that shape local implementation of federal, state, and foundation programs. His policy work has focused on welfare-to-work programs, youth civic engagement, and community food systems. He previously served as the leader of the ANR Healthy Families and Communities Strategic Initiative and as Director of the California Communities Program.

About the Extension Foundation

The Extension Foundation was formed in 2006 by Extension Directors and Administrators. Today, the Foundation partners with Cooperative Extension through liaison roles and a formal plan of work with the Extension Committee on Organization and Policy (ECOP) to increase system capacity while providing programmatic services, and helping Extension programs scale and investigate new methods and models for implementing programs. The Foundation provides professional development to Cooperative Extension professionals and offers exclusive services to its members. In 2020 and 2021, the Extension Foundation has awarded 85% of its direct funding back to the Cooperative Extension System, 100% of funds are used to support Cooperative Extension initiatives.
