Home-Based Business National Design Team


As part of the Communities in Economic Transition national  
initiative, there is a home-based business design team to   
provide leadership.  The team has representation from Home  
Economics, 4-H, Agriculture, and Community Resource         
Development.  The current list of items to accomplish are:  
1.  Identify an Extension contact in each state.  (Irene    
Hathaway is MI contact)                                     

2. Establish an Extension Home-Based Business Networking    
Computer Mail-Group.                                        

3.  Compile a comprehensive list of all research that has   
been completed in the home-based business arena.            

4.  Pull together all the existing Extension resources      
regarding home-based businesses. Where appropriate, text    
will be converted to CD ROM format and/or other computer    
databases. (MI has offered to publish the CD-ROM).          

5.  Establish computer databases, in annotated bibliography 
form, of all resources available in the area of home-based  
business.
