Leadership Montana -The Leading Edge, February 2020

Leadership Montana recently brought together two groups on opposite sides of a polarizing issue for a robust discussion. The American Prairie Reserve and United Property Owners of Montana sat down together for the very first time in Lewistown as part of our flagship session in February.

I have observed this issue for several years and recognized early the power for deep divides to form around it. As I watched more and more Montanans become aware of the growing controversy, those deep divisions became more and more evident. I hoped for a day when we would welcome both sides into a civil dialogue.
