We at the Montana Chamber are honored to represent the voice of business in the transformational opportunity and look forward to the work ahead including building a homegrown #workforce, so we can keep our most valuable resource - our students - in the state.

Beginning this Thursday evening, more than 400 golfers, heads of private industry, lawmakers, government relations representatives, and association leadership will convene in the #flatheadvalley for the Montana Chamber Foundation's 35th Annual Governors' Cup Golf Tournament. Thank you to Governor Greg Gianforte for his support again this year. The event kicks off with the Glacier Bank Ace in the Hole Reception, the summer's premier business development and networking event, on the campus of the Flathead Valley Community College. Tickets are $100 and available here: https://bit.ly/3HQBEUM Don't miss out! Then two days of fiercely competitive yet friendly play will ensue at Buffalo Hill, Meadow Lake, and Northern Pines Golf Clubs. Who will walk away with bragging rights, crowned "Grand Champions"? Will it again be the D.A. Davidson Companies - Montana Accounting Group (lowest gross) and WellSky (lowest net) teams? We shall see - but regardless, it is all in the name of a great cause - workforce development and entrepreneurship programs to educate Montana's 6-12 students. NEW this year for non-golfers is the Stockman of Montana Give It a Shot Clay Target Tournament at Big Sky Sporting Clays in Polson. A big round of thanks to all 2024 Sponsors, Players, and Attendees who make this event possible in support of the Montana Chamber Foundation.
