Item 2010 Leadership Demands: Extension Program Conference(St. Paul, MN: University of Minnesota Extension Service, 2010) Winchester, Benjamin SHow many people do we need to run our towns? And how many leaders are available? These simple, but related, questions are seldom (if ever) asked. There is an expectation that public offices and community organizations will be able to find enough people to serve year after year. These leadership demands of community can be compared to the number of residents (supply) available to serve in a community. This “social organizational infrastructure” is a critical component of rural communities and must be maintained. On one hand a large number of community organizations can reflect a healthy diversity of social options for residents. On the other hand it is a challenge for organizations that depend on the finite talent, time, volunteers, and financial resources of these residents to survive.Item The Brain Gain of the Newcomers(St. Paul, MN: University of Minnesota Extension Service, 2009-10) Winchester, Benjamin SThe population in rural Minnesota has changed significantly over that past decade. Many of the most interesting changes have occurred in areas that we don’t normally discuss. Commonly referred to as the rural rebound, between 1990 and 1999, over 2.2 million more Americans moved from metropolitan counties to non-metropolitan counties. Looking closer at the demographics of population change, research a the U of M showed an unexpected in-migration of adults aged 30 – 49 into rural areas of Minnesota, even in the most rural counties that do not have amenities or new economic drivers. This in-migration into rural communities is sometimes equal to the “brain drain” brought about by out-migrated youth. Further examination of this 30 – 49 cohort showed that it is composed of adults in their prime earning years. Given this refreshed view of changing demographics, rural America needs to rethink its description of gains and losses. If rural America is losing highschool educated youth (the brain drain) and replacing them with those that at least have a high school education – and in many cases a bachelor’s degree or higher – shouldn’t this be described as a “brain gain”?Item Continuing the Trend: The Brain Gain of the Newcomers: A Generational Analysis of Rural Minnesota Migration, 1990 - 2010(University of Minnesota.
