Partnership success with the Quinault Indian Nation & ImageSource, Inc.

Finding a good partner to work with is challenging.  Both parties need to work together through challenges together. They need to go above and beyond and be committed to each other's success. They need to understand each other and their organization.  All these things build trust, authenticity, and credibility. And, this is exactly how one could describe the relationship between the Quinault Indian Nation and ImageSource, Inc.
The two organizations have worked together for many years and on many projects that have been able to support the tribal nation.  In this podcast, we sat down with Jon Sutherland of the Quinault Indian Nation and Gene Eckhart of ImageSource and talked with them about their relationship and a few of the many projects they are working on together.  This conversation showcases how beneficial it is for tribal nations to partner with solution providers who understand their tribe, the structure of their tribal government, and to have a partner who genuinely cares about the wellbeing - and the next seven generations - of their indian nation.
