1 Application for: Jane Crayton State / Chapter: Colorado / Zeta Region: South Dues Paid: Yes Year Initiated into ESP: 2016 Visionary Leadership - West Education Jane holds an A.A. from Arapahoe Community College in General Studies with emphasis in Graphic Design. B.A. from CU Boulder in Media Studies. M.A. from University of New Mexico in Art Education where she published a case study, Designing for Immersive technology: integrating art and STEM learning. Employment Currently a CSU Extension Agent in STEAM / 4-H Youth Development. She has worked for several grant funded research projects at CU Boulder including, the Student Dust Counter on the New Horizons Mission to Pluto (04/05) as a documentary artist and Science Discovery (09-12) as a STEM after-school and summer camp instructor. She contributed to a Partnership for Innovation grant on immersive technologies at the ARTSLab in (2011) and a Department of Defense grant on immersive education with the Institute of American Indian Arts and University of New Mexico's ARTSLab (12-14) where she taught undergraduate dome production classes. She also documents the Rio Verde Archaeology Project, which is grant funded by the National Science Foundation, National Historic Society and several private grants, through Sonoma State, CU Boulder and University of Central Florida (12-17). ESP Membership and Involvement I joined ESP in the fall of 2016 as a new Extension Professional. My first year in the organization I joined the planning committee, putting forward the proposal for Colorado to host the National ESP conference in I participated in a few of the virtual planning meetings aimed at finding local resources and venues which could support a successful proposal. I helped research and propose sites in Pueblo that could possibly be considered for the Colorado ESP 2019 conference proposal. I participated in polls and discussions about possible venues in Colorado Springs and Denver to help highlight the best conference proposal from the Zeta chapter. Page 1 of 8

2 Professional Accomplishments My professional accomplishments during 2016/2017 as an Extension Agent include receiving the Colorado 4-H Foundation s Corn Grant ($2500) and the 2017 extension Foundation Innovation Grant ($30K) for the BeeWise program which integrates citizen science, youth STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) education, beekeeping and the Maker Education using Internet of Things. I also received a ($25K) grant from Cognizant Making the Future for development of after-school and summer enrichment programs focused on delivering STEAM programming highlighting the entrepreneurial spirit of making. I am the lead producer for the Pueblo Mini Maker Faire working with several local stakeholders to build a dynamic STEM event highlighting emergent technology and creative, innovative makers in our community. I earned the 2017 Extending Excellence - Early Adopter/ Program Innovator Award from Peaks and Plains Region at CSU Extension in May of D Printing project Rio Verde Archaeology featured in Horizon Report. Program Accomplishments My most significant program accomplishments are the development of The Maker programs in Pueblo which engage emergent technologies from the Horizon Report. Making the Future summer and after-school programs highlight technologies and skills in making. The program delivers 30+ contact hours of STEAM enrichment to Pueblo s most at-risk youth. Two summer camps were hosted in partnership with the Pueblo City and County Library District. Fifteen youth made LED Hula Hoops and Light Sabers at the Rawlings library and sixteen youth made Electric Cigar Box Guitars at Lucero Library on the lower east-side of Pueblo. The first of five after-school programs focused on 3D Printing and 3D Game Development. The Making the Future program is pushing the envelope in 21st Century education by intentionally including emergent technology integration in CSU Extension 4-H Youth Development after-school enrichment programs for low-income participants. My participation in the CSU Extension AmeriCorps Grants program I was able to increase program delivery sites and capacity across Pueblo County with my first Maker program, Growing STEAM Makers. Growing STEAM Makers aims to deliver quality STEM/Maker programming for free for youth at local libraries. At first Growing STEAM Makers was delivered by myself monthly, at just a few library branches. In November of 2016, we acquired our first AmeriCorps Member and expanded delivery for Growing STEAM Makers after-school enrichment programs at six library branches. This fall we welcomed (2) AmeriCorps Members for service year 17/18, and have expanded the Growing STEAM Makers Program to nine library branches and two makerspaces in Pueblo. I initiated The STEAM Punks 4-H club which has several project leaders focused on supporting projects that embrace the maker spirit. New volunteers from the maker community have joined 4-H clubs as project leaders and now host their own 4-H Club Makerspace project days, supporting the 4-H motto, learn-by-doing. By leveraging capacity building I increased the quality of after-school and summer programs, community clubs and have built a community around making. 4-H Leaders and youth are participating in local Maker Meet-ups and schools are building makerspaces. In celebration the STEAM Pueblo program has sparked an interest in Page 2 of 8

3 local stakeholders to support the first annual Pueblo Mini Maker Faire, a family friendly faire focused on highlighting local makers and STEM careers supporting local creativity, ingenuity and entrepreneurship. Highlighting the Maker Movement in 4-H Youth Development is a visionary approach to expanding diversity in Pueblo County 4-H programs. Summary Jane s ability to write successful grant proposals afforded her the ability to build capacity in her programming ensuring broader impacts. Her initiative to build and establish partnerships with community organizations, supported the intentional attempt to widen the circle and expand demographics. Jane s ability to synthesize and incorporate emergent technologies into her programming has gained national attention, while her intentional inclusion in 4-H Youth Development programming has leveraged a sustainable community vision focused on making change.

4 Application for: Willie Riggs State / Chapter: Oregon / Gamma Region: West Dues Paid: Yes Year Initiated into ESP: 1990 Visionary Leadership - West Education Willie holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Agriculture Business Management (1987) and a Master of Science in Agricultural Economics and Economics (1989) from New Mexico State University. Over the course of his career, Willie has sought out a number of professional development opportunities and certifications to support his growth in the areas of program planning, sustainable agriculture, wildland fire suppression, diversity and leadership. In addition, he has completed multiple leadership development programs, including, but not limited to, WELD and Lead21, to build his capacity as a leader within the Extension system. Employment Willie began his career in New Mexico as an Extension Research Associate in early During the summer of 1989, Willie began his service with Oregon State University Extension Service as the District Farm and Ranch Management Agent for Klamath, Lake, Jefferson, Crook and Deschutes counties. In 1994, Willie received tenure and was promoted to Associate Professor. In 1997, Willie s career progression led to a position with University of Nevada Cooperative Extension. While in Nevada, Willie maintained working relationships with many colleagues and clients in the area and throughout Oregon. In 2007, Willie returned to Oregon as the Center Director for Klamath Basin Research and Extension Center (KBREC). In 2011, Willie s responsibilities grew and he became an administrator for Lake County, a county which he served earlier in his career, and Klamath County. His historical knowledge and previous working relationships provided a foundation for a seamless transition in administration. ESP Membership and Involvement Willie has been an Epsilon Sigma Phi (ESP) member the vast majority of his career. In addition, as an administrator, Willie has supported faculty s membership and service to ESP. Over the decades of service to Oregon State University Extension Professional Page 4 of 8

5 Associations, he supported the planning process of the Annual Conference multiple times, during which ESP held their awards program and annual meeting. Professional Accomplishments Willie s leadership responsibilities have increased significantly since returning to Oregon in He has gone from being the Administrator of Klamath Basin Research and Extension Center to being the Regional Administrator for Klamath, Lake and Harney Counties. He has accepted these responsibilities with grace and acumen. In 2014, after years of budget cuts, the County Commissioners decided to remove funding for KBREC from the county General Fund budget. The only hope of saving KBREC after 100 years of service to the Basin was to create a Service District. Willie formulated the KBREC Success team consisting of community stakeholders and volunteers to run the campaign. In just under 4 months, 15% of Klamath County residents (4,892) had signed a petition to place the taxing district on the ballot. In 2015, Measure passed and KBREC now has sustainable funding that will allow programs to thrive long into the future. Program Accomplishments As an administrator, Willie focuses on inspiring staff by creating vision and direction to better serve our communities through programming efforts. He is particularly adept at removing roadblocks that hinder the work of his staff and volunteers. Every program and staff member feels equally supported by Willie. Willie has created positive changes in his region by building strong internal and external partnerships that have a shared vision. He encourages and facilitates cross-program and unit collaboration and is a leader in creating these opportunities. One example of this is the Open Campus Dual Enrollment Program that he pioneered with Klamath Community College. He intentionally developed relationships with key stakeholders, helped equip Extension faculty and nurtured the process to completion. This program is now a model for other communities. Willie has also created positive changes by managing personnel in an effective manner. He has purposely designed and realigned responsibilities so that support staff and faculty can work more effectively. He sets the standards for work performance, models that and ensures that the standards are met through staff evaluations and feedback. Willie is embedded within three very traditional counties, yet he remains innovative and a visionary for the OSU Extension Program. He often looks for ways to plan for the future through sustainable programming and the professional development of staff and faculty. Willie is currently a member of a working group which developed a program to help grow the next generation of Outreach and Engagement leaders. Hands down, one of Willie s most coveted skills is his ability to be both pragmatic and innovative. A primary example is that Willie often translates policy (Federal, State and Campus) to the counties which he serves without losing the original intent of the policy. It is through Willie s creativity, grassroots connections and logical implementations process that he paves a path for faculty and staff within the region to be effective within their positions. Page 5 of 8

6 Summary Willie s career as an Extension professional spans almost three decades of service in New Mexico, Nevada and Oregon. As an administrator, Willie focuses on inspiring staff by creating vision and direction to better serve our communities through programming efforts. He is particularly adept at removing roadblocks that hinder the work of staff and volunteers.

7 Application for: Andree' Walker Bravo State / Chapter: Utah / Iota Region: West Dues Paid: Yes Year Initiated into ESP: 2017 Visionary Leadership - West Education Andree' has a bachelor's degree in Environmental Studies with an emphasis in Environmental Education as well as a master's in Watershed Science with an emphasis in outreach evaluation and assessment, both from Utah State University. Andree' also holds a nonprofit management certificate from the University of Utah. Andree' is also completing the Western Extension Leadership Development (WELD) course as an intern in the spring of Employment Andree' worked for USU Water Quality Extension before, during, and after her master's work and then moved into the nonprofit field for 8 years, as the Executive Director of the Utah Society for Environmental Education. Andree' returned to USU Extension in 2015 as the Urban Director, based out of Salt Lake County. ESP Membership and Involvement Andree' has only recently become a formal member of ESP (in 2017) but believes in the mission and actively attends the meetings and gatherings. Professional Accomplishments In her career, Andree' has successfully developed and implemented Extension programming, taught University level online and campus courses, managed and grown a small non-profit, trained and developed qualified staff members and future leaders, and collaborated with colleges to implement projects on a national level. Currently, Andree' serves as the County Director for the largest and most urban County in Utah and also acts as the Urban Director for USU Extension. This work has allowed her to seek out needs from the community, governmental entities, and our own faculty and then work to meet those needs in a way that aligns with Extension. Over her career, Andree' has raised over $5 million in funds to support programming and facilities. Page 7 of 8

8 Program Accomplishments As the Urban Director, Andree' has focused on improving government relations, increasing brand recognition for USU Extension along the Wasatch Front and statewide, creating new partnerships, leading the Urban Initiative, assisting with University administration, and facilitating special projects as requested. The most prevalent program, the Urban Initiative, is a collaborative group of faculty from the four most urban counties who meet together on a regular basis to increase program synergy, to network, and to solve issues, resulting in higher quality programming overall. A few specific accomplishments have been trainings for faculty on how to develop Impact Reports and the actual development of Impact Reports for programs that can be shared with stakeholders, potential funders, and the University itself. Additionally, she has facilitated partnerships with faculty to combine programming planning and advertising efforts (Master Food Preserver, Beekeeping, etc). Andree' has developed a solid relationship with Salt Lake County Government and has become a vital member of the Human Services Team (the department where USU Extension is housed). This increased collaboration has allowed us to better justify our place in a competitive county and continually highlight the great service USU Extension provides. This also allows us the ability to request additional support from our county as appropriate. Finally, she has been instrumental in implementing special projects such as securing $2.5 million in funding to build a new Outdoor Education Center in partnership with Salt Lake County and various other projects with statewide scope and impact. In her role as Urban Director, Andree' is able to work with faculty from across the state to help guide them with best practices, understand their program limitations and needs, organize/provide professional development, and help act as a mouthpiece for the amazing impacts they have on their programs. Andree' is constantly amazed by the work done by USU Extension and is constantly looking for innovative ways to elevate the stature of the programs to ensure longevity and success. Summary Andree' Walker Bravo is the Urban Director for USU Extension based out of Salt Lake County. Her leadership has allowed for collaborative efforts along the Wasatch Front and beyond. Andree' looks for opportunities to not only improve programming but ensure that our stakeholders, funders, partners and community members know what we do, what issues we are working to address and why it is important.
