Hope Marrow: “Developing the Nuclear Economy in Idaho”

Hope Morrow is INL’s resident labor economist and head of Regional and Community Workforce Development. Morrow’s position is critical to INL’s mission, and her talent is recognized by many organizations across the region. In 2021, Gov. Brad Little appointed Morrow to the Idaho Workforce Development Council to represent the labor needs of the energy industry and overall workforce needs in eastern Idaho.

“Hope is thoughtful, strategic and a true people person who builds partnerships and readily resolves questions and concerns,” said former INL Supply Chain Strategist Amy Lientz. She has become a recognized resource across Idaho in the areas of workforce and labor analytics.   “Her abilities, creativity, strategic thinking, guiding, positive and caring attitude are not limited to just INL,” said John Baker, a colleague at INL. Morrow is also dedicated to improving her community. She gives generously to many nonprofit organizations, and mentors students and young professionals, guiding them in their career decisions. She also provides opportunities for internships & job shadowing to inspire young community members to follow their dreams & make wise career choices.
