On Monday, he filled out the rest of the panel. They include Montana State University president Waded Cruzado, Women’s Foundation of Montana program director Jen Euell, Missoula College dean Barry Good, Crowley Fleck PLLP partner Amy Grmoljez and Billings Mayor Tom Hanel.
Rounding it out are union leaders Jacquie Helt and Kim Rickard, Interior Environments Inc. owner Deb Larson, Salish Kootenai College laboratory manager Amy Stiffarm and CTA president Scott Wilson.
The panel will gather information and provide recommendations on policies and other actions.
