About Us
The Park County BEAR Team is a collaborative, community and region-wide group of professionals and experts who can help you expand your
business or refine its operations.
Team members come from throughout the community, including higher education and service providers,
financial institutions, local and national government, utilities, workforce development agencies and others.
Opportunities
We want to learn about your business! And, we learn from the person who knows it best - YOU! When you contact us, two BEAR Assessment
team members meet with you at your convenience to gain a thorough understanding of your individual business operations, your views on the
business climate, and your business goals. Even if you don't need assistance from us right away, we would be happy to present you with
a better understanding of what help is available and who you can call should your situation change.
Success
Your insights are essential! Opportunities identified during the "interview" are discussed confidentially within the Park County BEAR
Assessment Team. Goals you wish to pursue are addressed and resources from within the community are channeled to you at your
convenience. The Park and Gallatin County BEAR partners are committed to working with you to eliminate obstacles facing your business.
