When I became executive director in 2003 NWCDC was subcontracting for most of the technical assistance provided to client co-ops. The MPA program gave me, and subsequently the NWCDC staff, the tools we needed to build our internal capacity. Today we provide approximately 90% of the technical assistance in-house.
