Chamber -Washington Policy Center at the Airport

Ever wonder how to get your voice heard before an issue comes to a vote?
Here's a great opportunity.

The Chamber is excited to present the first in a series of live and zoom meetings where the discussion of governmental impact on business is centric to the event. To keep this as a free event, it is BYOL for the noon gathering. (Bring Your Own Lunch). Not to worry, we'll have water and some little snack items provided for you as well.

This initial meeting will be facilitated by Chris Corry, Eastern Washington Director for the Washington Policy Center, a nonpartisan organization shaping policy that affects your life. WPC improves lives of all Washingtonians by promoting high-quality, non-partisan, evidence-based research to advance policy solutions for a better Washington State. 

Headquartered in Seattle with satellite offices and full-time staff in Olympia and Eastern Washington, Washington Policy Center publishes studies, sponsors events and conferences and educates citizens on the vital public policy issues facing our region. WPC has an annual budget of more than $5 million and a full-time staff of 25. Broadcast, print, and online media throughout Washington and across the nation cover WPC’s work regularly and seek out its policy experts for analysis and commentary. In addition, lawmakers routinely invite WPC to testify before legislative committees.

Through its research centers, Washington Policy Center focuses on eight core areas of public policy: Agriculture, Education, Environment, Government Reform (budget & taxes, open government), Health Care, Small Business, Transportation and Workers Rights
 
Our meeting will be at the Airport in the ground floor conference room with sips and snacks provided to supplement your brown bag lunch.  Bring your questions, concerns and suggestions to share with the group and our government. Your questions will be discussed live-so get ready to speak up and be heard!

WPC’s Center for Small Business focuses on improving Washington’s small business climate by working closely with business owners and policymakers. The Center provides accurate information and analysis on the state’s regulatory climate, tax structure, health insurance systems, and more.
