A Word from Dan Hoover, Business Plus Board Member
|
"
|
Business Plus is a dynamic group of business owners that work together to grow and maintain our Magic Valley economies. We understand the importance of a diverse and healthy business climate. We believe in supporting Southern Idaho Economic Development's efforts to gain national and international attention through advertising, social media and job fares, to attract new business and talent to our communities.
I see two areas of concern: workforce availability and training, and education of our local communities and businesses that do not know who we are. Business Plus is a member-based organization with a networking ability that helps grow our economy. PMT is a strong advocate for Business Plus and we are committed to help Business Plus grow and support Magic Valley's economy."
Dan Hoover, PMT President/CEO
