At the Wyoming Business Council, we are a diverse group of passionate professionals from across the state, unified by a single purpose: to reverse economic decline and build a more resilient and prosperous Wyoming.
We believe that lasting solutions start with asking the right questions. That’s why our focus is on identifying our state’s biggest challenges, from workforce and housing to economic diversification. By working collaboratively—with each other and with our partners in every community—we are building the systems and know-how needed to tackle these problems head-on.
Our commitment is to the long game. We are here to help create an environment where Wyoming’s unique spirit of self-reliance can thrive, ensuring a brighter future for generations to come.
Our Regional Directors live and work where you are. They are the boots on the ground throughout the state, collaborating closely with city, town, county, tribal, and business and industry leaders to be the connectors, facilitators, and conduits of information to help communities best utilize our programs and services, and continually work to improve those resources based on their connections and expertise. They bring the puzzle pieces together on a local level and connect partners and stakeholders with WBC services and investments into one collective picture.
The Services Team provides the value of expertise, networks, and tools for Wyoming businesses. This team integrates the many different services under one roof to increase capacity, inspire greater collaboration, and facilitate economic development activities throughout the state. Beyond broad business development offerings, our Services Team is known for deep expertise in recruitment, agribusiness, entrepreneurship, foreign and domestic trade, broadband, community development, and Main Street.
The Investment Team understands the financial landscape of economic development necessary to help Wyoming businesses and communities secure the right financing for sustainable projects that contribute to Wyoming’s lasting growth. This team develops and administers programs providing financial support to local governments and assists Wyoming businesses in reaching their financial goals through business and industry analysis, credit analysis, financial due diligence, business plan review, large loan applications, and loan processing and servicing.
The Operations Team reinforces the Business Council’s efforts to drive innovation from talent development, administrative, accounting, IT, public meetings and records, and rulemaking perspectives. This team ensures organizational excellence and integrity and has deep public sector expertise while utilizing business best practices. They are agile, creative, and quick on their feet with an eye to creating lasting structure and processes.
The Strategy Team leads the execution of the state’s economic development strategy. This team utilizes a problem-driven and iterative approach to fully understand Wyoming’s economic challenges and constraints prior to allocating resources. They facilitate public-private collaboration, maximize strong relationships with partners and stakeholders, identify possible solutions, improve the agency impact and performance, and communicate the Wyoming economic development story at all levels.
Since early 2020, I’ve had the pleasure of working with the team at WBC. My purpose in this role (and in life) is to inspire and facilitate positive change, so being able to work with people who want to make a big impact on Wyoming’s future is a dream come true. Most of my day-to-day work involves reaching out, listening, and sharing the state’s economic development strategy to show everyone how we can work together to make it happen.
