Elected Official As Expert: Governing Boards in Rural Communities

Alvin D. Sokolow

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1984, vol. 01, issue 01

Abstract: Most rural local governments cannot afford to hire consultants or full-time professionals to solve local problems. Instead they rely on their own board members. That usually produces satisfactory results, but local governments must also realize its limits. Some problems are just too technical for most boards to grapple with. In those cases, they need outside help.
