The magic of Buy Idaho, Inc. !
Thanks Bailey Reese for that shout-out!

We are grateful to have Zack Rowley as a Reese Connect Partner! 🎉

🤝 Bailey and Zack first met at a Buy Idaho, Inc. event hosted by Jen Rowan. From their very first conversation, they realized they shared a passion for helping nonprofits and giving back to the Idaho community.

📊 Whether it's Zack helping nonprofits stay financially healthy through bookkeeping and accounting or Bailey introducing them to Echelon Group, they both believe in supporting the people and organizations that give so much to the Treasure Valley.

💙 Their friendship grew quickly and naturally led to Zack becoming a Reese Connect Partner. Since nonprofits are one of the pillars of our Talking Tacos events, it's important to have partners like Zack who are willing to share their knowledge and resources with our attendees. You never know who might need a little help or the right connection.

He is the Founder and CEO of Carrack Accounting Services and Pro Trade Bookkeeping, where he helps businesses and nonprofits simplify their finances and gain confidence in their numbers. His practical approach and passion for serving others make him an incredible resource for the Idaho business community.

At Buy Idaho, Inc this year, we came with a plan to get Idaho-based Businesses in front of even more people.

This new partnership gave us the opportunity to sponsor Trust Row, our dedicated section connecting trusted buyers and sellers in the wholesale ecosystem.

We also met directly with Idaho producers, makers and manufacturers from across the state, and one business owner started the journey of earning BBB Accreditation on the spot!

That business: 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗦𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄, and here's what they shared:

“𝘼𝙨 𝙖 𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙄𝙙𝙖𝙝𝙤 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙪𝙨, 𝙨𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙛𝙪𝙡. 𝙄'𝙢 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙫𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝘽𝘽𝘽 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙚 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙏𝙬𝙤 𝙎𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬.”

That’s what these events are really about.

Real conversations. New relationships. Businesses investing in credibility and long-term growth.

We loved seeing Trust Row in action again because of experiences like this.

Huge thanks to Buy Idaho for continuing to create spaces that champion Idaho businesses and local connection.
