The Northwest Territories has the fastest growing economy in Canada. The NWT Association of Communities (NWTAC) would like to offer you greater access to this market through the designation of SUPPORTING MEMBER.
SUPPORTING MEMBERSHIP would provide a forum for you to communicate directly with the people who influence or make important business decisions for their community.
Our organization, the NWT Association of Communities has been in operation for over 36 years. Each of our Board of Directors is a long-term Northerner (20 to 50 years) and has been a community leader for a number of years. We have connections with every community within the Northwest Territories. Our networks include the professional and volunteer organizations established in these function areas, at the local, regional and territorial levels. In the event, you need someone to introduce you to the decision-makers in the Northwest Territories we would be glad to be of service. Through our members, the elected leadership of the community governments, we have direct and effective communication channels and networks with every community in the Northwest Territories. Whether bureaucrat, professional, politician or private entrepreneurs we have links with and provide direct or indirect services to all.
The NWTAC is well positioned to assist your business in building strong partnerships with community governments throughout the Northwest Territories. As a SUPPORTING MEMBER, your business/organization would enjoy the following benefits:
Ø A copy of the NWT Association of Communities member contact list, which outlines the contact information for the Mayor and Senior Administrative Officer of each of our member communities. This contact list is updated quarterly.
Ø The opportunity to have a link on the NWTAC’s website (www.nwtac.com) with logo and contact information.
Ø An invitation to attend the Annual General Meeting as an observer, where approximately 120 municipal officials attend.
