| The
Wheeler Fall Conference
is the single most
important yearly dialogue in the state on
pressing public policy questions.
Topics have included tax policy, gambling,
crime/corrections, educational reform and
federal land practices. In any given year,
conference attendees include key policy makers
and opinion leaders, legislators, state
administrators, those with a direct connection
to the subject at hand and members of the
general public from around the state and region.
The conference highlight is the keynote speaker,
always a singularly distinguished individual,
who in the past have included the Governors of
Montana, Utah, Colorado and Nevada, and the
President of Cargill Corporation. |
| The
day-long Wheeler Roundtables focus more directly
on economic problems and possibilities in
Montana and the region. Held in various
cities and towns in the state, roundtables bring
together the "players" on topics as
diverse as tourism, county growth
management and coal mining. |
|
Past
conferences and roundtables have influenced new
legislation, administrative policy and economic
development. They are central forums for the
examination of existing institutions and for
fresh, new ideas. |
| The
Wheeler family has also endowed a reading room
in Montana State University-Bozeman's Renne
Library. A
collection
of Wheeler papers and documents are
housed there. |
