| Abstract | In an effort to determine preliminary results of an intensive public affairs leadership program designed to improve the skills of selected potential rural leaders in analyzing and taking action upon public problems, two control and one comparison group were pre- and post-tested. Group I (N=91 with a 65% response) consisted of all persons who participated in the one-year training program focused on the analysis of local and statewide public issues; Group II (N=34 with a 94% response) consisted of the first group of people who were involved in the three-year program focused on local, state, national, and international public issues; Group III (N=73 with an 81% response) constituted the comparison group made up of people with characteristics similar to those of the program participants. Participant change was measured in terms of attendance, membership committee participation, offices held, and nonlocal affiliations in groups categorized as: government and quasi-government; voluntary public service (nongovernment); political; fraternal; social, athletic, and sports; religious; military and patriotic; and economic interest. Results indicated a trend away from participation in nongovernment-affiliated public service groups and greater involvement in organizations having legislated authority. Supplementary analysis of participant self-assessments of program effects indicated that the greatest effects were perceived in areas directly related to program objectives (i.e., increases in public affairs interest, feelings of confidence, and analytical skills).
