Union, is the 2016 Idaho Business Leader of the Year. The
professional business fraternity at Idaho State University, the

a dinner March 17.
The award annually recognizes an Idaho business leader who
has demonstrated outstanding business and professional ethics
while contributing significant support to worthwhile
community, civic and education activities. Awarded by ISU
College of Business students since 1959, previous honorees
have included congressmen, former governors, entrepreneurs
and leaders of some of Idaho’s largest companies. The
recognition program is the longest standing one of its kind in
Idaho.
Idaho Central Credit Union, one of the fastest growing credit
unions in the nation. Oram oversees the overall operation of the
credit union — including budget administration, management of
security, safety and soundness — ensures compliance with
federal and state regulations and implements programs to keep
the credit union competitive in the financial industry.
He began his career in 1984 as the data processing manager and
in 1986 was promoted to executive vice president. He has been
in his current position as CEO since 2007. Oram believes the
key to a successful organization is employee engagement and is
on a journey to build a culture at Idaho Central Credit Union
that is world class. Team members have embraced Oram’s
vision, and Idaho Central Credit Union was named Best Place to
Work in Idaho three consecutive years — 2013, 2014 and 2015.
Oram holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from
Idaho State University as well as Certified Chief Executive and
Certified Credit Union Executive designations from the Credit
Union Executive Society. He was presented with the Credit
Union Executive Society Rising 100 Award in 2006, was
recognized as the Credit Union Executive Society Outstanding
Chief Executive Officer in 2013 and was inducted into the
5. Credit Union Executive Society Hall of Fame in 2014. In 2015,
Oram was named Idaho State Journal’s Professional of the Year.

Dawnette, have three grown daughters. He enjoys spending time

Indian Ambassador to the US speaks at ISU
By Cydney McFarland
POCATELLO — Multiple local, national and international
scientists, doctors, professors and politicians attended Idaho
State University’s 45th annual Frank Church Symposium. The
most prominent of them was His Excellency Arun K. Singh, the
Indian Ambassador to the United States.
Singh was the keynote speaker on Thursday night and said he
planned to cover a variety of topics pertaining to the
symposium’s focus on sustainable development. This includes
environmental concerns such as global warming, health care
technology and the U.S./India relationship as it pertains to
developing together.
“It’s an area of critical importance to all of us,” said Singh.
In a press conference before his speech, Singh discussed health
care technology. He acknowledged that they struggle to make
health care available for those who can’t pay for the services.
Singh said there is a focus on bringing down the cost of both
care and medical equipment to make health care more accessible
to the population of India.
However, India does boast some of the world’s best medical
6. facilities for those who can pay for it. India has become a hot
spot for medical tourism because procedures there can be
thousands of dollars cheaper than in the U.S.
Joining Singh at the press conference was local doctor Fahim
Rahim of the Idaho Kidney Institute. Rahim was one of the
lecturers for the symposium and discussed how to help post-
disaster communities. He drew information from his time
working in Nepal before and after the 2015 earthquake.
“It’s a very simple problem of education and access,” said
Rahim. “All of these things boil down to empowering women.”
Dr. Rafi Ahmed, the director of the vaccine center at Emory
University, was also invited as a lecturer. Originally from
Hyderabad, India, Ahmed is an ISU alumnus — receiving both
his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in microbiology from ISU.
His lecture on Friday will focus on immunological memory and
immunotherapy.
Aside from the keynote speech and two lectures, the symposium
hosts a variety of panels featuring professors from various
universities, former military personnel and activists.
The symposium was organized by ISU’s International Affairs
Council and named after former Idaho Senator Frank Forrester
Church.
