The Northwest has an all-star team (Ken Koehler, Denise Moore and Bob Hoogendam), who bring valuable local experience to help our Members and carrier partners grow stronger together. We are Ironpeak’s fastest-growing region, more than doubling in size every year. In 2024, we added 38 new Members who decided to grow stronger together; we’d love to share some of our success stories with you.

Fun fact

In 1803, President Jefferson sent a secret message to Congress requesting funds for Lewis and Clark to explore the Northwest, which was not part of the U.S. at the time. The cost? $2,500 for the entire expedition. We agree with Lewis and Clark’s conclusion that opportunity abounds in the Northwest.
