MEMBER SERVICES

 

With nearly two decades of experience building strategic partnerships with Pacific Northwest government and private sector leaders, PNITA has made a direct impact on trade, tax and transportation policies affecting the region’s economic competitiveness. Much of this success comes from PNITA’s ability to fashion broad-based business solutions for trade issues and challenges. We have a proven record of working with government leaders and staffs on draft legislation, informing them about member’s trade concerns, and bringing solutions to the table to solve trade problems.

 

PNITA provides its members with weekly trade news updates, in depth analysis of trade competitiveness issues, monthly member’s luncheon and briefings, and quarterly business conferences. We also trouble-shoot trade complaints and research questions for our members.

 

Members can also participate in PNITA’s working committees, chaired by business leaders, who work to inform policymakers on the impacts of tax, transportation, and trade policy matters. Annually, PNITA members travel to Washington DC to meet with congressional and executive branch officials, as well as participate in an August congressional roundtable for Washington DC and State staff.

 

Through our website we offer members the opportunity to promote their companies’ products and services through free hotlinks and company profiles (corporate, sponsor and patron members only). PNITA members also attend private member-only events and receive discounts on all membership programs.
