Montana Business Assistance Connection names new executive director – Terry Myhre

The search for a new leader for Montana Business Assistance Connection http://www.mbac.biz/ ended quite close to where the organization started a decade ago.

Terry Myhre, manager of Dillard’s and a founder of the local economic development authority, was named last week as MBAC’s new executive director.

Myhre, 58, helped found the authority, then named Gateway Economic Development Corp., in 1998. He chaired the group’s board of directors for its first two years and has remained a board member ever since.

“When we founded Gateway, I met a lot of good people and I enjoyed that aspect of the community very much,” he said. “The opportunity came to get back involved in it.”

Myhre replaces Sheldon Bartel, who resigned abruptly in September after five years on the job.
