"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

We’re trying to convey how important this is to the state of Montana, our partnership with GE. I’m hoping in 2016 we’re going to get it all resolved.” Steve Arvescoug, president of Big Sky Economic Development http://www.bigskyeconomicdevelopment.org/

The push is in response to the October announcement that Connecticut-based GE is selling its commercial lending and leasing businesses, including the Billings facility, to Wells Fargo for $30 billion.
