Outreach
Economic Development
Making INWTPA another arrow in the quiver of our region’s Economic Development Councils. This is also a salute to the membership as it is being recognized as a group taking their profession seriously, providing North Idaho a competitive advantage. This also helps raise awareness in the communities we work and for our respective management of our contributions to same.
This committee works as a single point of contact to the EDCs in support of their efforts to both maintain and add companies to our region in support of increasing the economic output and valuation.
Technical Liaison
North Idaho being a rural market, few if any organizations can afford the breadth of business and technology acumen to ensure the organization is leveraging the tools available to give them a competitive advantage.
The Liaison Program will, on a fee basis and project basis, bring the collective strength of the INWTPA to bear, with the goal of providing its client with competitive and sustaining advantage in their respective marketplace. Means to achieving top line revenue growth, and reducing operating expenses will be key focus points.
Community
Consistent with INWTPA’s goal of elevating the valuation of IT practitioners is raising awareness of their contributions. This can be done in part by outreach efforts in the community.

The Community Committee will also be the one spearheading outreach activities such as “A Night with an IT Nerd”, a fun and educational evening for the SOHOs in our communities.
