The Partnership at the State Level
State Rural Development Councils (SRDCs) are composed of the
agencies and organizations that play a part in developing the rural
areas of that state. As a result, federal, regional, tribal, state,
and local governments, along with the non-profit and for-profit
sectors, all play an important role in the work of each State
Council.
The State Rural Development Councils define their own mission,
structure, operating guidelines, and action plan. SRDCs rely upon
time and resources volunteered by their partner members to address
critical community concerns and to respond to fast-breaking
opportunities.
Currently, there are 28 federally-recognized State Rural
Development Councils.
