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.

"All of the industries in the world that create the most wealth and require the most skill, the United States is pretty much the leader in every single one of those industries," Connors said. "There’s tremendous opportunity the next 25 years with transformational technologies."

Many challenges face America in today’s global economy, but focusing on fiscal and personal responsibility and community can help Americans begin to overcome many of them.

That was the message former Microsoft chief financial officer and Miles City native John Connors delivered Wednesday to a group of about 70 people gathered for a luncheon at the Best Western GranTree Inn hosted by the Montana Council on Economic Education. http://www.econedmontana.org/
