Fiber Economy Connection Stewardship
PNWFC will bridge the broader public to a vibrant local supply network featuring regional natural fiber products and services.
Connection stewardship means maintaining relationships. This starts with the Fiber Resource Directory and Database, mapping out opportunities for connection and collaboration. From there, connection stewardship has many forms. It looks like highlighting our member businesses on social media. It looks likes speaking publicly at elementary, secondary, and tertiary schools. It looks like presenting for regional fiber guilds and associations. It’s a presence at fiber events, promoting PNW made products and services.
Connection stewardship is about making fiber friends and growing long-lasting partnerships.
