Staff
The Treasure Valley Partnership has one part-time staff person, Project Manager Bill Larsen .
Mr. Larsen has been with the Partnership since June of 2005. He acts as a facilitator on project activities the Partnership decides to work on. Early on in his employment with the Partnership, Bill coordinated with officials in law enforcement, the State Pharmacy Board and numerous State legislators to develop language for City/County ordinances to restrict the sale of Pseudoephedrine. The purpose behind these ordinances was an attempt to restrict the supply of pseudoephedrine being used in the manufacture of methamphetamine.
Bill holds a Masters’ in Business Administration and has professional experience in developing and managing projects covering a wide variety of disciplines. He has held positions such as Project Coordinator for the University of Idaho, Resource Development Specialist for the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, Marketing Manager for two different businesses and has been the owner and manager of his own business providing Medicaid related services to clients in the Treasure Valley. He has also been a member of several state-wide boards and commissions beginning in the early 80’s.
Lastly, the Partnership is very privileged to have worked with leading individuals such as:
Hank Dittmar, Great American Station Foundation
Shelley Poticha, Congress for the New Urbanism
Christine Saum, Mayor's Institute on City Design
Gianni Longo, ACP Visioning & Planning
Rolf Pendall, Professor, City Planning, Cornell University
Jim Weatherby, Profession, Political Science, Boise State
in the pursuit of finding the right solutions to the pressures of rapid growth in our valley.
