How Did Your Business Get Started?

Spokane, Washington.  Billie Moreland, Ph.D., of Billie Moreland and Associates was given an Award of Honor by Sirti at their October Board Meeting.  The award was “in special recognition of her efforts and vision for the Terabyte Triangle and its positive impact on the Spokane community.”  Moreland is a member of Spokane SCORE, Chapter 180.
 
“I am delighted to receive this award and especially happy to know that my last 15 years’ work with Sirti and the technology sector in downtown Spokane has been valuable,” says Moreland.  “Nurturing and facilitating the growth of small technology start-ups has been especially rewarding.  Being able to chronicle small and large companies for the last ten years has been my pleasure as well as my work.”
 
There have been many highlights in the work leading to this award.  Highlights include: 

  • Facilitating Spokane’s nomination for, and being named as, one of seven “Intelligent Communities” by the World Teleport Association
  • Contributing to the All America City Award for Spokane, 2004
  • Ten years of technology-based newsletters and Web publication
  • Contributing to the real estate community to establish 150 technology companies in downtown Spokane.
  • Contributing to community education to facilitate high-speed, optical fiber connectivity availability in most downtown buildings.
