As the world of politics and policy changes, one of the most important tools available to policy makers, civic leaders and businesses in the West is the Center for the New West. The Center focuses on the West for one simple reason: the region increasingly leads the United States in most indices of progress – population growth, job creation, political reform movements, new technologies and innovations, educational achievement and institutional reform. We also focus on the West because the West is unique: in its climate, its terrain, and its relationship to the federal government.

 

The mission of the Center for the New West is to foster balanced growth and economic development in the Western United States and to advance the principles of the Founders, including personal freedom, limited government and free enterprise in America’s New Economy. Founded in 1989, the Center seeks to improve awareness of Western issues and to provide a platform for leaders of business, government, education and civic institutions to address regional, national and global problems and to develop practical solutions for them.
