Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown/Stutsman Development Corporation’s marketing/workforce developer, Holly Miller, participated in the Red River Research Corridor’s Small Business Innovation Summit on March 19 in Fargo, ND.

Miller joined Dr. David DeMuth, Great Plains STEM Education Center director, and Tifanie Gelinske, Greater Fargo Moorhead Economic Development Corporation VP of workforce, to present information on the ND STEM Learning Network and Growing Tomorrow’s Skilled Workforce. The Small Business Innovations Summit was co-hosted by the Red River Valley Research Corridor and North Dakota’s Congressional Delegation.

The summit offered various panel discussions where small business owners could learn about ideas to build and expand their companies, and determine how to use local, state, and federal resources. The summit included keynote speaker Matt Varilek, Regional Administrator for the U.S. Small Business Administration and Soo Young Kim, Head of Marketing for Google’s Get Your Business Online program. Dr. DeMuth, Miller, and Gelinske will present Growing Tomorrow’s Skilled Workforce at the ND STEM Learning Network Take Root Summit at the National Energy Center of Excellence in Bismarck, ND on April 4. “STEM is the foundation for “growing our own” workforce in Stutsman County,” Miller said. “Through STEM, we will create an innovative workforce and a link for education and industry collaboration.”
