 Suggestions to Leaders of Homemakers
Clubs ~
Without leadership, a home, a club, or a community cannot exist , i
long as a unit. Only with properly trained leaders can an organization , _  
_ function and develop to the best advantage. A good leader is one j
l whose personality, ability, and knowledge are such that others are l
willingto work with her towardcertain ideals. Many persons with L L
potential qualities of leadership have never had an opportunity to
develop them, but with proper training and experience they may be- y
come effective leadersin a community. "Leadership is the more or less L
intangible quality of knowledge and power, of feeling, of friendliness, ‘
which, when exercised by a good personality in a common-sense way, L
secures, first, attention, then respect and, finally, the confident follow-
ing of others."1 Every officer, project leader, or committee member is
a successful leader in so far as she possesses or acquires certain char-
acteristics, abilities, and information. The qualifications of leader- ‘
ship in all these positions are the same, but the specific information
necessary to perform the duties of each differs. (See the "Qualities of
a Good Leader" listed on page 4.)
SOME THINGS ALL HOMEMAKERS CLUB MEMBERS
SHOULD KNOW
All members of a Homemakers Club should know:
l. The provisions of the constitution of the County Homemakers
Association and Community Homemakers Club (pages 5 to 10). .
2. That a homemakers club is maintained only in counties having
P1 home demonstration agent.
3. That the organization is for the members and that any by-laws.
or necessary changes, are to be made by the members in orderly par- _
liamentary fashion.
4. That each member is a part of the association and consequently V
helps to establish its standing. ·
5. That the organization promotes and develops an educational _
program and service available to all county homes.
6. That homemakers are joining their efforts with other educa- _
tional forces·to improve their community. l P _ . l

for any county in any state to procure a Home Demonstration Agent

lege of Agriculture and Home Economics, and the county cooperate
to carry on an Extension program.
15. That the funds are administered and the program supervised
by the Extension Division of the College of Agriculture and Home Eco-
nomics, University of Kentucky. l

is determined by its members. When a club or a county sees the need
of funds, the amount and the method of obtaining it are determined
by the members of the association.
