Partner Center

Welcome to Missouri River Country’s Partner Center!

Montana’s Missouri River Country is the official destination marketing organization (DMO) for northeastern Montana. Our mission is to inspire travelers to explore this wide-open corner of the state—bringing more overnight visitors to our local lodging properties and boosting spending in our businesses and communities.

We proudly serve eight counties—Phillips, Garfield, Valley, Daniels, Sheridan, Roosevelt, Richland and McCone—as well as the Fort Peck and part of the Fort Belknap Reservations. Stretching from the North Dakota border in the east to the Canadian border in the north, Missouri River Country offers visitors an expansive and unforgettable Montana experience that is treasured and true to the spirit of Montana.

As your regional DMO, our goal is to increase awareness of the region, encourage visitation and support the businesses and communities that make Missouri River Country unique.

This page is designed specifically for our partners. Here, you’ll find information about our board of directors, as well as resources and tools to help you connect with visitors and make the most of tourism in Missouri River Country.

Together, we’re working to strengthen our communities and share the authentic experiences that make Missouri River Country truly treasured and true.

Board of Directors

The Missouri River Country Board meets on the third Tuesday of each month. Note that it’s preferred that members attend in-person in Wolf Point, but we do offer a virtual option for attendance when needed. Meetings begin at 10:00 a.m. and typically conclude around 12:00 p.m.

If you’re interested in joining our board, please contact Carla Hunsley, Executive Director for Missouri River Country at 2mtmrc@nemont.net or (800) 653-1319.
