To be eligible, board nominees must be founders, CEOs, senior executives, or key employees of organizations that are current dues-paying members of the Montana High Tech Business Alliance. Individual members must be at the Industry Professional level to qualify for board service.

 We are looking for individuals who can:

  • Listen to the needs and interests of both the business community and future workers and advocate on their behalf

  • Help guide our strategic vision

  • Represent the Montana Jobs Network’s work and values to the community

  • Act as responsible stewards of the organization’s assets, reputation, financial and human resources, and mission
