Strengths and weaknesses
Strengths of Fowler Township's Government/Leadership: Fowler Township elects only community members to their board of trustees, who are in charge of the local government. This gives the community government a comprehensive knowledge base to make all of the decisions for the people. These elected officials have firsthand knowledge of the needs of their community, and will know the best ways to go about planning and making changes for better. It also provides the community the security of knowing who the elected officials really are, because in a small town such as Fowler everyone knows everyone.
Weaknesses of Fowler Township's Government/Leadership: The one weakness that stands out in Fowler Township's Government/Leadership system is that because they are such a small community they depend on the services of other larger surrounding communities and the County for a notable amount of these services. This not only means that their community members aren't employed for the services but it can also make them harder for the community to obtain and plan for.
