Each year, GSI invites members of the community to bring forward issues and projects to be considered for the State Legislative Priority Agenda. Submissions are vetted through the Public Policy sub-committees, Public Policy Council, and finally the Board of Trustees. Some of the issues included in this years agenda are Workers’ Compensation reform, funding K-12 education, and supporting regional transportation projects.
Your voice matters. Make sure your voice is part of the conversation – get involved with GSI’s Public Policy and advocacy efforts.
GSI’s Public Policy committees play a major role in the development of each year’s agenda. If you’d like to take part in the process, contact Public Policy Coordinator Sarah Dice.
Join business and community leaders on our annual Olympia Fly-in trip to meet with elected officials and top staff at the state level, to help advance our region’s policy priorities and issues that impact your business. You’ll make new contacts and build solid relationships at our high-level receptions throughout the trip.
If you’d like to be part of the unified legislative advocacy delegation of community leaders and regional business representatives that head to the state capitol in January, contact Carsen Quinnett or visit our Olympia and DC Flyin page.
