Iowa State University-Extension Service
Distinguished Leadership Award 2000 Iowa State University Extension advances economic development by: assisting in job creation and retention, helping businesses get started and expand, increasing family income, developing Iowans’ skills and leadership abilities, and improving quality of life. Economic development often is measured in terms of job growth and increased income. Although growth is a key indicator of successful economic development, ISU Extension also works to improve quality of life. Business and economic developers in the United States increasingly recognize the importance of quality of life – which includes environmental and recreational amenities and social infrastructure – as well as access to technical expertise in attracting and retaining business in a community.
