Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

Activities

Glenn Israel, University of Florida

Starting in 2013, I worked with several graduate students to create the Savvy Survey Series in the EDIS publication management system to provide accessible and useful information for conducting surveys for evaluation and program planning. To date, 20 publications have been written, peer-reviewed and posted online. I also have worked to update the series over the last several years and it has become increasing popular, with a total of 46,350 EDIS views since 2013 (17,737 in 2018). Publications in this series are used in AEC 6767, 6552, and 6932, in sessions of the Extension Faculty Development Academy, and by colleagues in several states.
