Yellowstone County, Montana, home to nearly 170,000 residents and the vibrant city of Billings, is known for its sweeping prairies, rich history, and a knack for embracing innovation. Recently, the county took a major step forward in local government transparency and efficiency by choosing OnBoardGOV as its solution for managing boards and committees.

Making County Government More Accessible

With dozens of boards and committees shaping everything from planning policy to public health, keeping track of who serves where-and what they’re working on-can be a challenge. That’s where OnBoardGOV comes in. Now, running reports, managing memberships, and tracking the history of board appointments are all just a few clicks away. This not only streamlines the work for county staff but also makes it easier for residents to see who represents them in various county affairs.

For a county as large and dynamic as Yellowstone, this level of accessibility matters. Residents can quickly find out who’s serving on the Planning Board, the Library Board, or any of the many other committees that help shape local life. It’s a big win for transparency, and it encourages more citizens to get involved in their government.

Community, History, and the Future

With a population that’s steadily growing and a community that values both its past and its future, Yellowstone County is setting a new standard for civic engagement. By making board and committee management easier and more transparent, the county is ensuring that residents have a clear window into local decision-making-and an open invitation to participate.

Whether you’re interested in serving on a board, following local issues, or just curious about who’s representing your neighborhood, it’s never been simpler to get involved. Thanks to OnBoardGOV, Yellowstone County is proving that even in the heart of Big Sky Country, local government can be as open and accessible as the Montana horizon.

Yellowstone County: More Than Just a Name

If you thought Yellowstone National Park was only in Wyoming, you’re almost right-96% of it is. But three percent of the park actually lies within Yellowstone County, Montana, with the remaining one percent in Idaho. That means when you’re exploring the wonders of Yellowstone, you might be standing in Big Sky Country without even realizing it.

But Yellowstone County has plenty more to offer. Just outside Billings, you can explore Pictograph Cave State Park, a National Historic Landmark where ancient hunters left behind over 100 pictographs and thousands of artifacts, some more than 2,000 years old. Or, head south to the Little Bighorn Battlefield, where history comes alive on the rolling Montana plains.
