Liderazgo estatal
Los Directores Estatales desempeñan un papel fundamental para que el Desarrollo Rural se centre en estrategias de desarrollo económico comunitario, impulsadas localmente, que aprovechen los diversos recursos 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.
