Publishers of the Lewiston Tribune are continuing their year-long focus on the employees and community contributions of local businesses and the expansive range of products and services they offer. The effort has at its roots, a desire to remind readers of the myriad benefits of buying locally, whenever the opportunity presents itself.

While a state-level “Buy in Idaho” initiative has existed for years, this ambitious new campaign is seen as an important way to localize that mindset for residents of the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley.

As a made-in-Idaho company that’s proudly headquartered in Lewiston and stands as one of the community’s top-ten employers, Regence takes part in the ‘Made by Us’ effort because it advances common goals of regional economic stability and community betterment.   

Regence will be featured in two more campaign runs in the Lewiston Tribune and Moscow-Pullman Daily News this fall and winter as Made by Us continues.

Regence Underwriting Director Dave Pankey says he’s honored to share his story and his support for the economic well-being of the valley, while always looking out for the needs and interests of Regence customers and members – just as he has for the past three decades.
