“… coming into a community, learning about the community behind the data through conversation is what I find the most rewarding.  Many community members, and local Extension Educators, can tell you about the history behind the data, what may have occurred in the community which caused a significant change in data points I’ve shared. Without those conversations and relationship building, the data would just be numbers on paper, which may not tell the true story of the community.”
