It would be nice if communities could be the same way they were twenty years ago, but nothing stays the same. Change can mean adversity and change can mean opportunity. Uniting into one regional organization provides an opportunity for constructive change.

Residents across Northwest Oklahoma recognized the need for an organization to work for the entire region instead of just focusing on certain areas. The Northwest Oklahoma Alliance is an organization designed to coordinate, consolidate, develop and promote regional resources. We provide a platform to unite Northwest Oklahoma.

Northwest Oklahoma exhibits symptoms of out-migration, an over qualified workforce, and a lower than average wage base. In order to find solutions to Northwest Oklahoma's challenges, it will take the combined effort of our communities working as a unified body.

 

The Northwest Oklahoma Alliance hosted the Oklahoma Academy for State Goals on July 20, 2010 from 10am-2pm at the NWOSU Campus in Woodward, Oklahoma.

The Northwest Oklahoma Alliance partnered with the Academy to host a discussion on this topic from the perspective of NW Oklahoma communities. Discussion took place on the question, “What do NW Oklahoma communities need to be successful?” Craig and Julie Knutson lead the discussion and took the concerns back to the academy so they can be included in the reference materials for this year’s town hall. It was a great opportunity for us as a region to share our successes and challenges and have them included in a document shared with leaders from all across the state.
