Patti Furniss has worked in the areas of employment, training, and workforce needs for the last 20 years.

Since 1999 Patti has been the manager of the Bitterroot Job Service Workforce Center, concerned with providing a skilled workforce for Ravalli County employers. Efforts have been challenging as locally available training and educational opportunities have been limited.

Patti talks to the unemployed, underemployed, and individuals seeking training and educational opportunities every day, as well as having frequent contact with the range of local employers.

Patti has also served six years on the Literacy Bitterroot Board of Directors, currently serves as a Bitterroot Valley Community College Trustees Elect Vice-Chair , and is President of the Bitterroot Valley Chamber of Commerce.
