We enthusiastically embrace the many roles we play in the region: economic driver as the area's largest employer; home of innovative research crucial to many business sectors; and provider of the educated workforce needed for northern Arizona's vitality and success.. - Joshua Maher, Northern Arizona University Associate Vice President, Community Relations

Chris Bavasi, ECoNA Director Emeritus
In today’s world we are more connected than ever, either through technology, supply-chain dependencies, or systems approaches to solving daily challenges. No one organization or community can do it alone. As a result, looking at economic development broadly and regionally provides the opportunity and obligation to ask, who isn’t at the table that should be? This is what ECONA provides. ECONA serves as a convener and facilitator of what can be done when we come together as a region. - Steve Peru, Coconino County Manager
At Goodwill, our mission is to remove barriers to opportunity and help individuals reach their full potential through the power of work. A strong local economy is essential to meeting that mission. Our collaboration with ECoNA allows us to build the relationships and partnerships necessary for our northern Arizona communities to thrive. - Joe Barba, Goodwill of Central & Northern Arizona, Director of Government Relations
