Welcome to BidIdaho ! With the advent of the new millennium we are seeing rapid changes in technology. It is my belief that state government must keep pace with these advances in order to better serve the citizens of our great state. Therefore, it is my pleasure to introduce a great new program for the Idaho State Treasurer's Office called BidIdaho. This effort is designed to create a more competitive environment for state deposits to benefit Idaho's financial institutions. BidIdaho is an on-line electronic auction for the State of Idaho certificates of deposit. It utilizes the latest Internet technology allowing instantaneous bidding on state CD monies. We are proud, in this office, to be participating in new technologies as they become available. It is an exciting time for state governments, as well as the private sector, to be serving our constituencies in the best way possible. We hope you will join us. Sincerely, Julie A. Ellsworth State Treasurer
