BOZEMAN — A recent report revealed impactful information regarding rural Montana communities. According to the report Montana has the second highest demand for leaders per capita in the country.
The publication, prepared by rural sociologist Benjamin Winchester of the University of Minnesota Extension, reports that one in every 13 adults must hold a leadership position to keep the state’s existing government and nonprofit organizations running.
Winchester’s report calculates the leadership demand for each Montana county. The highest leadership demand is found in the state’s low-population counties — where one in five adults are needed to hold leadership positions.
