Thurston Chamber Forum: State of the Community Address & Elected Officials Reception

On Wednesday, January 8, representatives from Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm, and Thurston County will collectively present a State of the Community address at the Thurston County Chamber Forum.

Every year, leaders from the community share their perspectives on current issues and future prospects. Leaders will illustrate the important steps and investments made this past year to grow our local economy and promote new employment.

New to the State of the Community is an Elected Officials Reception, from 11:00 a.m. until noon. This is an opportunity to engage business and community leaders in a one-on-one networking setting. The reception will also provide Chamber members and elected officials an opportunity to get to know each other better. The reception is open to all Forum attendees.  Students from the Reeves Middle School Alki Program will be in attendance as part of their studies of local government. To sponsor a student (no out of pocket cost to students), call the Chamber at 360.357.3362.

Forum is held at Saint Martin’s Norman Worthington Center from 11:00am to 1pm. The cost is $30 general admission, $20 for online prepaid Chamber members and $25 for members at the door. Reservations are requested at 360.357.3362 or www.ThurstonChamber.com.
