Share Your Story
We know every business has an incredible story about how they were formed, hardships they’ve endured, and uplifting tales of encouragement seen along the way. Your business is an important part of our business community and helps make the Spokane region vibrant and full of opportunity. Help us share your story. You may get featured in a blog post, on our website, in our newsletter, or in our upcoming GSI Connect magazine we produce each year in partnership with the Spokane Journal of Business.
