Northern Arizona University's partnership with ECoNA fits naturally with the goals of both organizations. 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

Collaboration and community support provide the foundation for economic development. ECoNA is dedicated to making that happen.

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
