Goulet appointed to state foundation

Wally Goulet, vice president of compliance and corporate communications for National Information Solutions Cooperative, has been appointed as a member of the North Dakota Economic Development Foundation by Gov. John Hoeven. Goulet was appointed to the North Dakota Economic Development Foundation on March 15 and will serve until March 14, 2011.

As a member of this Foundation, Goulet will work with up to 30 members to create strategic plans to strengthen and broaden North Dakota’s economic development. One of the opportunities Goulet is looking forward to is sharing North Dakota’s resources with other countries, since one of his personal interests is exploring how North Dakota can capitalize on the rising economy in China.

“With China’s middle class growing so fast, there is an opportunity for us to share our knowledge and resources about clean coal technology as well as our own information technology for delivering more electricity to their cities as they add 1,000 megawatts of new electrical capacity per month,” he said. “ I would also like for North Dakota’s agricultural sector to capture a fair share of China’s expanding desire for more diverse grains, meats and milling opportunities to meet the changing dietary needs of their middle class.”
