If you joined us last month online or in Billings for Momentum – thank you!! Conference season is truly one of our favorite times of the year, because we get to reconnect with so many of you. We start the month stressing about event logistics, and we end it feeling refreshed and reinvigorated for our work. That’s thanks to all of you – the incredible myriad of smiling faces out there doing the hard work of making Montana communities better, bit by bit. We hope you, too, left conference feeling renewed — with a new tool, idea, or friend to take back to your work. Thank you for being part of Momentum.

Speaking of momentum, you might have read that as of this week, the federal government has very little of that going on. Head to our Shutdown Hub for all the government shutdown resources you need – including a list of agency contingency plans. If your organization or community is impacted by the shutdown, please let us know by sending Policy Director Lorianne Burhop an email.
