Manufacturing & Forestry Appreciation

presented by CCI Speer

Join us for an evening celebrating Manufacturing and Forestry, featuring exhibitor showcases, a delicious dinner, and both silent and live auctions to raise funds for scholarships for students entering the trades next year. This year, we will be awarding 3 scholarships to students pursuing careers in the industry. 

You’ll hear updates from industry leaders including our Title Sponsor, CCI Speer, and Diamond Sponsors Idaho Forest Group and SEL. There will be an update from the Lewiston High School CTE program and its value to not only the students but our regional workforce. Our keynote speaker will be Robert Spendlove, Senior Economist for Zions Bank, who will provide insights and economic information on manufacturing in Idaho and our valley.

It promises to be a full evening of fun, education, and celebration!
