AWB News

AWB employed a broad range of communications tools to deliver its message , including blog posts , social media , earned media , an expanding newsletter lineup and the AWB Amplified video series .
Two new publications were added as well : Quarterly survey reports and a quarterly update from AWB ’ s Council of Economic Advisors . Together , these publications gave AWB powerful new tools examining the health of the economy and the state ’ s employers .

Economic Roadmap

AWB launched Washington in the Making 2040 in the spring , traveling the state and meeting with hundreds of employers and residents to help build a shared vision for the state ’ s future economy . Those town hall meetings , combined with a robust public opinion survey , will provide the foundation of a plan that will be unveiled in 2024 .

AWB + WCCE

AWB reached an agreement to provide management services for the Washington Chamber of Commerce Executives , bringing the organization back inside AWB for the first time in years .
WCCE ’ s mission to provide chamber executives with professional development services and resources complements the ongoing work of the Grassroots Alliance , further strengthening the connection between AWB and local chambers throughout Washington .
