The 2016 BMDA Board election offered ten candidates for four open seats, illustrating the interest and engagement of the business community in our organization. n The Leadership Council is made up of both long-time BMDA investors and past board members, as well as new professionals and entrepreneurs interested in greater involvement with the BMDA. This advisory group has been involved in presentations and discussions about timely community issues. HEATHER JONES City Air Mechanical, Inc. n The new, simpler five-tiered investment system has been well-received by both 2015 BMDA Chair returning and new investors. Private investment in the BMDA over the past year has helped us move closer to a better balance of private and public funding. n The BMDA focused efforts on working with our business community to help address continuing workforce needs by utilizing online talent attraction campaigns and intern fairs, and developing additional programs for the coming year. The activities and efforts carried out in 2015 have put us in a good place as we move forward in our work to support and expand our existing businesses, bring new businesses to our community and back entrepreneurial ventures. By working together, we can continue to build momentum and keep Bismarck-Mandan the best it can be. It has been a pleasure and an honor to serve as your chair this past year. I thank you for the confidence you placed in me. I extend my sincere gratitude to the investors of the BMDA, members of the Executive Committee, Board of Directors, Leadership Council and staff for all of the hard work and efforts on behalf of the BMDA, the cities of Bismarck and Mandan and our surrounding area. I encourage your continued involvement, support and input as we move into what promises to be another exciting year for Bismarck-Mandan and the BMDA. Thank you. 1 BISMARCK-MANDAN DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION MEMBERS AAction Movers BNI Coal Ltd. Gate City Bank ACME Tools BNSF Railroad Generac Mobile Products Activities For Learning, Inc.
