Montana State University Extension and The Northwest Area Foundation are working with citizens to help improve the quality of life in this community through the Horizons program. Horizons is a community leadership program created to assist small rural and reservation communities faced with economic decline or population change to enhance their quality of life. Economic decline and population change can be defined as a type of poverty.

As a part of this project we are gathering input from community members in Scobey, Daniels County and others who receive the Leader. We invite you to take a few minutes to fill out this brief survey so that your opinions will be heard, and so that you can have a direct hand in promoting positive change in this community. We would appreciate your participation greatly, and look forward to learning more about your views and ideas.

Your participation in the survey is completely voluntary, and your responses will be anonymous. Summaries of all surveys will be provided to a Horizons project committee in the community. Watch for a community event in October/November where community members will be invited to create a vision statement and a basic community plan based in part on these survey results.

For additional surveys or more information, contact your Horizons Community Coach, Bobbie Roos, at (406) 487-2861, or by e-mail at broos@montana.edu.

If you have any questions regarding the purposes, content or use of this survey, please call Bobbie Roos at 487-2861. Thank you in advance for your participation in this important community effort.
