Abstract | Objectives of this study were to determine knowledge levels and attitudes among lay leaders and members concerning the Cooperative Extension Service (CES) reorganization in Jefferson County, New York; relationships between knowledge and attitudes; and the relation of knowledge levels and attitudes to certain variables. An interview schedule was administered to all 36 leaders in the county and to 116 members (a 5% sample). Findings included the following: (1) leaders had higher knowledge levels and more favorable attitudes than members; (2) Extension participation was higher for leaders than for members; (3) in the member group, women were more favorable toward the reorganization; (4) attitudes and knowledge were not significantly related to one another; (5) age, education, occupation, income, tenure in Extension, residence, and Extension participation were not signficantly related to knowledge of the reorganization or to attitudes held concerning it.
