Impacts

WRLP has been recognized for the tremendous impact it has had across the state and beyond. Since 1983, more than 300 individuals have participated in the program and have added their names to the directory of dedicated and involved alumni.

Graduation from the group does not represent an end, but rather the beginning of a lifetime of new experiences. WRLP provides our state with motivated decision-makers that are well-informed and able to shape the future of Wisconsin. Their efforts have led to such endeavors as building a medical clinic in a community without healthcare facilities; being elected to local, county, and state offices; helping children with physical and mental disabilities; creating economic opportunities in communities; and developing curriculum for schools.

The program's impact is felt in a variety of ways and on many levels. The Wisconsin Rural Leadership Program is accompanying a police officer on his late night shift, sitting down with government officials at open-policy discussions, and joining in an editorial news conference. It is coming face-to-face with the challenges we live every day. It is using the WRLP experience to lead others to highly innovative and successful solutions.
