_____Oval Mapping Steps 1 and 2:

(Examples include agriculture stakeholders, family stakeholders, youth stakeholders, economic
development stakeholders, other…)
 _____Large group brainstorm: What are the organizations within each of these major
stakeholder groups that are important to an advisory group in ____________ County?
o Leading group discussion questions include:
 What community organizations make decisions that could effect our local
Extension office?
 What community organizations utilize Extension services?
 What are community organizations that we do not traditionally work with, but that
provide community resources (think outside the box)
o Examples include Health and Human Services, HCE, other family stakeholders;
Downtown Assoc, Chamber of Commerce, Industrial Commission (economic
development stakeholders); health services, tribal court system, youth services
o Each organization name is written on a medium size card and taped to wall around it's
corresponding major stakeholder group
