Meet your local managers
We're always close by, ready to work with you.
Have you met one of our Regional Business Managers in your community? They're actively involved in organizations across the Northwest that focus on improving quality of life, economic growth strategies, sustainability efforts, local projects, and more.
What local managers do
Your local Avista representative can help you with issues including:
- Sponsorships
- Initiate an economic development discussion
- Public Policy concerns
- Speak out about environmental and sustainability issues
Our local representatives are available to assist small and medium sized businesses in moving beyond the pandemic with SizeUp, a powerful competitive business intelligence tool that is industry-specific and hyperlocal. And the best part? It’s FREE!
