b'B U I L D B E Y O N D . . .R E S P O N S EA N D R E C O V E R YWhat an amazing effort! At some time over the last seven months we have all likely referredto our COVID-19 experience (personally and professionally) with some sort of adjective or maybe an expletive. Amazing was probably not our word of choice as we all have struggledto stay safe and hopeful, reset and sometimes just survive. However, it is the first word that comes to mind for me as I consider the hours and wisdom that has been shared by a groupof leaders called the Economic Response and Recovery Team (ERRT).What an amazing effort as our business leaders, many of whom were themselves trying to keep their doors open and retain staff, joined with our economic development team and civic leaders to respond to real needs and define a game plan for our response and recovery. The work showcased on the next two pages outlines this work, and rightfully recognizes the Yellowstone County Economic Response and Recovery Team for their dedicated workthat continues to this day, meeting now weekly for the last seven months. When you get the opportunity, share a note of appreciation with one or all of theseERRT team members. They are amazing.STEVE ARVESCHOUG Executive Director406.256.6871stevea@bigskyeda.orgB S E DThe dedicated and experienced team at Big SkyEconomic Development work diligently to be engagedin our communitythrough our work and also throughcommunity projects, board service, and volunteering.
