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.
