We’re pleased to announce our first annual Seattle Policy Forum in partnership with Monument Policy Group on Wednesday, February 19 at the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber.
This half-day policy conference will feature some of our state’s brightest minds hashing out key federal and state issues and how they will impact Washington’s citizens and businesses in the coming year. We’re proud to welcome Seattle Mayor Ed Murray as our keynote speaker and U.S. Representatives Denny Heck and Rick Larsen as panel moderators. Policy panels will feature in-depth discussion on transportation, technology, trade and the political climate in both Olympia and Washington, D.C.
Lunch will be served and attendees are welcome to stay and enjoy a beer and wine networking reception after the program. Take a look at the agenda below for more information.
