Join Washington Policy Center to help identify and prioritize the issues that will determine the future of Washington's small business climate!

WPC's Center for Small Business is hosting their biennial small business forums throughout the state. WPC policy experts and business leaders in your community will gather to discuss the important issues facing businesses. This is your opportunity to meet with policymakers, business leaders and elected officials to share the challenges facing your business, develop solutions and to look ahead to what's in store for 2013 with a new governor and legislature.
