Take the NAFTA Modernization Survey

The Pacific NorthWest Economic Region (PNWER) has created the following survey to gather feedback and compile data from industries and organizations across North America on modernizing NAFTA. The Department of Commerce and regional Congressmen have asked PNWER to help with providing input and data from stakeholders for the public comment period. The Canadian Parliament has also asked PNWER for stakeholder input from our region.

Please complete the survey by Monday, June 5th, to ensure we have time to compile the responses and submit them.

We would appreciate if you could widely distribute the link to the survey with your partners across North America.

Highlights from our 2016 Economic Leadership Forum in boise

Picture
The Pacific NorthWest Economic Region had a successful Economic Leadership Forum in Boise, Idaho Nov. 16-19.  See presentations, action items and notes here. 

The meeting in Boise advanced PNWER working group action items identified at our 2016 Summit. Lead delegates from our member jurisdictions helped clarify the organization's priorities for the upcoming year, and substantial media coverage went a long way to bring attention to the work being done to prevent a regional mussel infestation.
