Extension professionals can benefit from knowing the value of a program’s outcomes compared to how much it costs.

This four-page fact sheet describes ROI and how Extension professionals can use it in their programming. Written by Amanda D. Ali, Laura A. Warner, and Hayk Khachatryan and published by the Department of Agricultural Education and Communication.
