Advisory Board

TechHelp’s Advisory Board is a group of seasoned manufacturing, business, and economic development professionals whose experience, education, vision, and know-how provide guidance to us. For instance, the Board helps us stay on track and meet the ever-changing needs of Idaho Manufacturers. Similarly, the Board meetings provide a forum where representatives from Idaho Universities, the private sector, and the public sector can come together to discuss needs and issues. Above all, in selecting members, the Board strives for geographic and sector balance to solicit a wide range of views and interests.
