Empowering Rural Entrepreneurs: Diane Bevan at Punchbowl News' Small Business Summit

13 May 2025
Empowering Rural Entrepreneurs: ITC CEO, Diane Bevan, at Punchbowl News' Small Business Summit May 13, 2025 Washington, D.C. This morning, Washington, D.C. buzzed with energy as Punchbowl News hosted The Summit: Investing in Small Businesses, a dynamic event spotlighting the pivotal role of small enterprises in bolstering the U.S. economy. Among the distinguished speakers was Diane Bevan, President and CEO of the Idaho Technology Council , who delivered compelling insights on fostering entrepreneurship in rural communities. Championing Rural Innovation In a panel discussion moderated by Punchbowl News' senior congressional reporter Andrew Desiderio , Bevan emphasized the necessity of advocating for policies that nurture entrepreneurship beyond urban centers. Drawing from her extensive experience, she highlighted the unique challenges rural entrepreneurs face and the importance of tailored support systems to ensure their success. The Verizon Digital Ready Advantage Bevan also shed light on the transformative impact of Verizon's Small Business Digital Ready program. This free, online platform offers over 50 self-paced courses, one-on-one coaching, and networking opportunities, equipping small business owners with the tools and confidence needed to navigate the multifaceted world of entrepreneurship. Bevan noted how such resources are invaluable in leveling the playing field for rural businesses, enabling them to thrive in today's digital economy. Engaging Conversations with Industry Leaders The Summit featured a series of enlightening sessions, including a one-on-one interview between House GOP Conference Chair Lisa McClain and Punchbowl News Founder and CEO Anna Palmer . A fireside chat followed, featuring Verizon Chair and CEO Hans Vestberg and Hall-of-Fame quarterback Joe Montana, now Managing Partner at Liquid 2 Ventures . Their discussion delved into the intersection of technology, investment, and small business growth. "You need to believe in what you're doing," Verizon's Vestberg says. "I think large companies like us need to take responsibility for their ecosystem." Joe Montana noted that his firm is currently investing in 900 small businesses. He reiiterate that relationships are the most important tool in running a successful business. Joe Montana says he learned to stay out of politics a long time ago."Just always want to be on the winning side," Montana said. A Collaborative Effort for Economic Growth The event culminated in a panel that brought together diverse perspectives from industry and policy experts. Alongside Bevan, panelists included Jim Gowen, Senior Vice President of Global Sourcing and Supply Chain and Chief Sustainability Officer at Verizon; Tom Demarest, CEO of OKIN Process; and Michael O'Rielly, former FCC Commissioner and President of MPORielly Consulting, LLC. Their dialogue underscored the collective effort required to support and sustain small businesses across the nation. Demarest shared how Verizon's Small Business Digital Ready platform made a huge impact on his businesses. O'Rielly shared the importance that policy plays in the success of America's small business owners. The panelists emphasized the importance of digital connectivity, consistent spectrum policy, resilient supply chain and relationships for small businesses. Bevan's participation in The Summit not only highlighted the critical needs of rural entrepreneurs but also showcased the power of collaboration between public and private sectors in driving inclusive economic development. Her insights serve as a call to action for continued advocacy and support for small businesses, ensuring they remain a vibrant and integral part of America's economic landscape.

Today, we serve over 30,000 students annually. CWI serves community members at any stage of life's path with these educational programs: Dual Credit: Get a head start on your college education, explore your interests, and save time and money while in high school.

Adult Education: Gain life-changing, essential skills to reach your goals and succeed, such as completing a GED or improving literacy skills. What sets this business apart from others in the industry? CWI change's the trajectory of lives for generations to come. We offer: Open, affordable access unparalleled in the Treasure Valley. Student-centered commitment, adapting to meet students where they are. Career-oriented outcomes to provide students a competitive edge. Share something you love about Idaho, or a specific community you serve, or any special projects you would like to share with our followers, or even something specific you love or want to share about the company you represent. CWI students are the most hardworking and tenacious I have ever met. They are from all walks and stages of life. There is no typical CWI student, except that most are managing multiple responsibilities and challenges that could easily make them quit on their education. Instead, it seems to fuel their determination to continue. What inspired you to join the ITC? The two strategic projects I am leading right now are related to growing the tech workforce. I support our partnership with Micron to train more technicians and am the chair of CWI's AI Committee. Both projects have given me insights into the challenges and opportunities of building the workforce we need right now and predicting what will be needed in the future. I am inspired by ITC's mission to connect the tech community, because I know how vital collaborative and coordinated efforts will be to our success as a State. What are you looking forward to the most about serving as a board member of the ITC? I am looking forward to building relationships with other members and finding opportunities to collaborate. What do you like to do in your free time, or anything else you would like to share with our network? Like most Idahoans, I like to spend my free time with my family, friends, and dogs; ideally enjoying Idaho's beautiful outdoors.

Meet Nathan Foss

7 May 2025
Introducing: Nathan Foss, Account Executive, Lightcast Describe the business/organization you work for: Lightcast connects people with jobs by providing businesses, communities, and education institutions with the best labor market data possible. Our data-driven insight enables better, faster decisions. What sets this business apart from others in the industry? Lightcast prides itself in having the most robust selection of labor market data while also having the most accurate on the market. We combine traditional government labor market information with proprietary real-time labor market information to better understand where there are gaps in the workforce in terms of people, education, certifications, skills and much more. Share something you love about Idaho, or a specific community you serve, or any special projects you would like to share with our followers, or even something specific you love or want to share about the company you represent. Lightcast is proud to be headquartered in Moscow, ID. Being located in Idaho provides unique opportunities and advantages for our business. In Moscow, we are able to have direct access to both the University of Idaho as well as Washington State University. This gives us a chance to cultivate our talent from the ground up, as well as help us grow the region by keeping our students local instead of them having to move out of state for a job. We have partnered with a variety of groups across Idaho to help grow our economy. Some of these groups include the Idaho Technology Council, Idaho Department of Commerce, Idaho Department of Labor, Inland Northwest Partners, and many more.  What inspired you to join the ITC? As a quickly growing data company in Idaho, we are always looking for new connections throughout the state. The ITC provides opportunities to network with other tech companies, get to know our market and region, and learn about potential new partners. What do you like to do in your free time, or anything else you would like to share with our network? I am an avid golfer, and am always looking for some good competition. I believe at this point, I have played a large majority of the courses in Boise, so if you are ever looking for recommendations or some friendly competition, reach out!

ITC Attends Microsoft Global Nonprofit Leader Summit in WA

by Betsy Davies • 9 April 2025
ITC Attends Microsoft Global Nonprofit Leaders Summit Written by: Betsy Davies April 9, 2025 A Week of Innovation, Inspiration, and Impact: Microsoft TechSpark Fellows Summit and Global Nonprofit Leaders Summit From March 24th to 28th, I had the incredible opportunity to travel to the Seattle area and immerse myself in a week full of learning, connection, and empowerment at two transformative events hosted by Microsoft: The TechSpark Fellows Summit and the Microsoft Global Nonprofit Leaders’ Summit (GNPLS). The experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Connecting Across the Country: TechSpark Fellows Summit The TechSpark Fellows Summit, held on Microsoft’s Redmond campus, brought together fellows from across the U.S.—each of us working at the intersection of technology and community impact. It was incredibly powerful to be surrounded by such passionate changemakers, all dedicated to driving digital equity, workforce development, and economic opportunity in our respective regions. The agenda was packed with energizing content, including: A preview of the AI Readiness Report , by the Berkeley Group, offering insights into the current state of AI innovation and strategies for communities to become future-ready. Two impactful AI in Motion Panels , where Fellows shared real stories from the field—highlighting everything from digital skilling efforts to inclusive entrepreneurship initiatives. The unveiling of the new TechSpark Playbook , an invaluable tool to help us better communicate our stories and outcomes back to our communities. One of the most inspiring parts of the summit was the AI in Motion Pod Panel , where Fellows answered questions about our most impactful projects, challenges faced, and aspirations ahead. These candid conversations sparked new ideas and forged deeper bonds across the network. It was a week of not just sharing what we’ve done but dreaming together about what’s possible when we work collaboratively across geographies, with Microsoft’s powerful resources and vision behind us. Global Vision, Local Action: Microsoft Global Nonprofit Leaders Summit Midweek, I joined hundreds of nonprofit leaders from around the world at the Microsoft GNPLS in Bellevue. This summit focused on how nonprofits can harness the power of Microsoft technologies—from AI and cloud solutions to cybersecurity tools—to amplify their missions and drive greater impact. Sessions explored themes such as digital transformation, sustainability, data-driven decision-making, and building resilient nonprofit ecosystems. It was empowering to see how aligned Microsoft is with the values and needs of the nonprofit sector—and how committed they are to helping us scale our work responsibly and inclusively. Lasting Impact Walking away from this week, I feel deeply grateful—not only for the opportunity to participate in these summits, but for the continued support and inspiration provided by Microsoft through the TechSpark program. This experience reinvigorated my commitment to community innovation and gave me fresh ideas, new tools, and powerful partnerships to help move our mission forward. I’m excited to implement the insights I’ve gained and to stay connected with this vibrant network of leaders who are reimagining what’s possible in their communities. Thank you, Microsoft TechSpark and GNPLS, for an unforgettable experience. The future is bright—and I’m more ready than ever to help shape it. ### ABOUT IDAHO TECHNOLOGY COUNCIL The Idaho Technology Council (ITC) is the industry voice driving innovation in the state of Idaho.
