The concept for the Potter Principles originated through a private, non-profit organization called the Inland Northwest Economic Alliance (INEA). Made up of eleven economic development groups from throughout Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho, INEA is a regional economic development initiative funded through a combination of public and private funding sources. Its Board of Directors is comprised of economic development professionals from throughout the region known as the Inland Northwest. The INEA and its supporters are continually looking for ways to educate and promote successful economic development initiatives to strengthen regional economies. In The Potter Principles, learn about Bob Potter's experiences and principles as a business recruiter. During his many years leading Jobs Plus -- the economic development organization representing the greater Coeur d'Alene area and Kootenai County in Northern Idaho -- and supporting INEA, Potter has enjoyed many recruitment successes.
