The past several months have presented us with plenty of economic challenges, related directly or indirectly to the Covid-19 pandemic, wildfires, social equity, and more. Throughout the northwest, communities and sectors have experienced, addressed, and learned from these challenges in different ways. As we move from uncertainty toward the clarity that comes from experience and innovation, we have an opportunity to learn from each other. Please join us.
