Part of what makes Montana so unique is the fact the state’s economy is driven largely by natural resource development. In an effort to bridge connections between industries and better diversify the leaders of Montana, Montana State University Extension, in partnership with private donors, started Resource Education and Agriculture Leadership (REAL) Montana. The two-year leadership development program is open to anyone in Montana who is directly involved in a natural resource industry with a desire to be a leader.
