With New CEO, Kellie Danielson, Montana West Economic Development Looks to the Future

At a time when many businesspeople are forced to get creative or reinvent themselves, entrepreneurship becomes key. And, as Kellie Danielson reminds, “Montana is an entrepreneurial state.”

This is quite a time to be taking over an economic development group in Northwest Montana. The timber industry has struggled miserably, the real estate market is trying to get back on its feet and unemployment is just now getting back to manageable numbers, though there are still many without jobs. Kellie Danielson is fully aware of all of this.

Danielson, who became president and chief executive officer of Montana West Economic Development http://dobusinessinmontana.com/ in Kalispell earlier this year, is tasked with finding ways to bring new business to the Flathead Valley in a time of uncertainty. As her predecessors have done, Danielson will also focus on retaining the bright minds already living here, in addition to bringing new ones in. The role of such an economic development group is as important now for the region as it’s ever been.
