LISTEN FIRST MONTANA






Listen first. It is what all great leaders do.






Episode 24: Deb Vandeberg

In this episode, Eric speaks with Deb Vandeberg, vice chair of the Leadership Montana Board of Governors.  Deb talks about growing up in her beloved hometown of Havre and what she learned from being on crutches from ages 6 to 11.  She shares stories about working in New York City, starting a successful business in Havre, and running the Havre Chamber of Commerce for over 20 years.  Deb also tells listeners about her role on the Leadership Montana Organizing Committee in 2003, and how she advocated for rural Montana throughout that process.
