The NACo Western Interstate Region (WIR) Conference brings together county officials from across the nation to focus on pressing issues facing counties and our residents. Each year the conference is hosted by a county within the fifteen Western states—Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawai'i, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming—and provides attendees with the opportunity to interact with federal, state and regional policymakers, participate in educational sessions and take home tools to address challenges. |

The arts district entertains while boutiques fill out the carefully preserved historic buildings. Flowing through it all is the Spokane River gorge and Falls. Explore and enjoy all the city has to offer. Inexpensive hotel rates and airfares, many travel options, and a downtown location will make this one of the most accessible WIR Conferences yet!
