Shandy Moran
USDA Rural Development Hires Business
Programs Specialist for Eastern Montana
BOZEMAN, Mont., May 13, 2022 – U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural
Development (RD) Montana welcomes Shandy Moran as its new Rural Business
Cooperative Services Loan Specialist to serve the Eastern Montana region.
This newly-created Loan Specialist position will allow USDA RD to build stronger
relationships within the eastern part of the state and expand funding and resources
to help rural Montana prosper.
"We are so pleased to welcome Shandy, who brings a wealth of knowledge and
business-based expertise," noted USDA RD State Director, Kathleen Williams. "Our
team is critical to the success of USDA Rural Development's programs, and we
couldn't be more excited to bring someone onboard who knows the area,
understands the communities' needs, and is driven to continue to make a positive
impact in these rural areas."
Prior to joining USDA RD, Moran served as the regional Small Business
Development Center director in Northeastern Montana. She is a Rural Dynamics
Inc. board member, was a Small Business Development Center State Star recipient
in 2020, and is an active board member for the Montana Council for Economic
Education. Moran graduated in 2014 with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration
with an Option in Finance from Montana State University Billings.
"This position is an important investment in delivering our programs in Eastern
Montana," stated Montana's Business and Cooperative Programs Director, Lad
Barney. "We are excited to be doubling our efforts in that part of the state, and
even more excited to have Shandy leading the way. She knows the area as well as
anybody, and now we have the capacity to provide a targeted presence in Eastern
Montana, build stronger partnerships with Eastern Montana's communities and
leaders, and implement economically diverse projects in areas that have historically
been underserved and underfunded."
