Blackfoot Communications

Celebrating 70 years of innovation and teamwork at Blackfoot Communications, we're proud to highlight the remarkable individuals behind our success. Meet Hannah, Business Development Representative. Joining our team in 2020 as a Sales Admin, she has since flourished transitioning into her current role. She is focused on creating connectivity solutions for small businesses. When asked why she wanted to start a career at Blackfoot Communications, she shared, “I was drawn to Blackfoot because it offered a local opportunity for career growth, which I experienced firsthand.” When Hannah is not working with customers, you can find her working on her parent’s cattle ranch, baking delicious sourdough bread, or hunting and fishing. #MeetTheTeamMonday #EmployeeSpotlight #BlackfootCommunications

Happy #NationalSkilledTradesDay! Did you know that since 2021, Blackfoot Communications has partnered with local universities and colleges (like the Missoula College) to create a work experience program?
