Educational Video Recordings

Iowa Agricultural Extension Association educated NACAA Members attending NACAA 2019 National Meeting, Iowa County Extension Council Members, and Iowa Extension Staff to support hosting NACAA 2023 in Iowa. To help councils and members understand what Iowa has to offer, an education video was developed which is available online. The video informs viewers how extension staff are helping Iowans grow its people, places, products, and profits. The video informs viewers to come and learn from Iowa’s Extension staff how Iowa is one of the leading agricultural state. Video has been shown 168 times to approximately 1,700 extension staff & council members within Iowa and NACAA Members attending the 2019 NACAA National Meeting. The video makes the case why NACAA 2023 National Meeting should be held in Des Moines, Iowa. Outcome of these educational efforts has been the agreement by staff, council members, and administration within Iowa Extension System to submit a bid to host NACAA 2023 National Meeting when Iowa has never been able to host in the past 105 years of its association history. Iowa's educational efforts were successful in informing NACAA members at the 2019 National Meeting and Iowa was selected to be the host state in 2023.
