Join us for our annual legislative briefing and reception. Our expanded Legislative Day in Olympia includes
informative panels to bring you up-to-date on business issues that are a priority in the 2013 session. Learn how
these issues will affect your company and our state’s competitiveness and help us carry the message to elected
officials at the reception. Our legislators need to know how your business is impacted by decisions that are made
