Board President’s Message
December 2019
Dear Friends,
As 2019 comes to a close I want to take a few moments to
reflect on the past year here at Whitney Benefits. I believe
that the best way to summarize all that Whitney has done in
the past 12 months can be said in one word, collaboration.
Collaboration is the key to the success of any community
and Northern Wyoming has been an example of this
success for many years. As the economy of our State moves
towards a different and possibly difficult future, collaboration
becomes essential. Whitney has embraced this spirit while
working with many local organizations and individuals to
provide opportunities for the people of our communities.
This past year Whitney Benefits partnered in a property exchange with SEEDA, the Casey Osborn family, the HUB and
Sheridan College. This exchange benefits everyone who uses the HUB, benefits the Construction Tech programs at
Sheridan College, and provides possibilities for economic development. Whitney Benefits, Sheridan College, and School
District 2’s program of computer science curriculum implementation has thrived and received national recognition earning
the College Board’s AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award. The potential economic development that may be
possible by this partnership was highlighted in The New York Times article “How a State Plans to Turn Coal Country Into
Coding Country” published August 10, 2019. Whitney also expanded our partnership with the City of Sheridan to add
Blacktooth Park to the list of city community spaces that are irrigated by water owned by Whitney Benefits. Our Foundation
continually works with Sheridan College and its many partners on planning for the future.
As we close out 2019, Whitney Benefits looks forward to further community partnerships in 2020. With the help of
dedicated community leaders and organizations, Whitney Benefits will continue to look to the future and explore ways to
provide more resources and opportunities within our communities.
Best wishes,
Roy Garber
