The NwOA is looking for business and community leaders to help create a vision for the region. It is imperative that decision makers have the opportunity to join forces with state agencies to develop an organization that is a central location of information for legislative issues, business recruitment, resource consolidation, and opportunities for economic growth. The NwOA has identified four industry sectors which are Agriculture/Tourism, Business/Industry, Education/Health Care, and Transportation/Utilities. The organization will work through these sectors to shape the future of our region.
