Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Anybody who has been in the business world for long knows that plenty of organizations bandy about the term "strategic partner." Sometimes those words are nothing but a fancy label for a politically beneficial relationship of mutual friendliness.

But at Missoula Economic Partnership http://www.missoulaworks.org/ , the importance of those two words is reflected in our very name. We are an organization defined by a spirit of partnership. We exist, in large measure, to foster connections.
