Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1986, vol. 02, issue 3

Abstract: Local officials who belong to professional associations can serve their constituencies better than officials who belong to no associations. Not only do member officials have access to new ideas and better ways of doing things, they are also more likely to recognize when local problems require outside help and to know where to get that help. Based on a survey of 152 officials in three rural southwestern Ohio counties.
