Liderazgo estatal

Map of the United States

Los directores estatales desempeñan un papel fundamental para ayudar al Desarrollo Rural a centrarse en estrategias de desarrollo económico comunitario impulsadas localmente que aprovechen los diversos activos y necesidades de las zonas rurales de todo Estados Unidos. Cada estado, incluido el Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico, está dirigido por un director estatal designado y, en algunos casos, los estados colindantes están dirigidos por un solo director estatal.
