From the capitol steps in Olympia
to Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.,
AWB is advocating for policies
that help employers prosper
Advocacy is the heart of our mission.
AWB is there, year in and year out, advocating
for policies that will help small, medium and
large employers prosper.
We’re there in person, with a dedicated team
of Government Affairs staff members building
relationships with lawmakers and policy makers.
We’re there online, using digital media to raise
awareness and advocate for policies that will
help your business grow.
And we’re there with you, helping AWB
members from all corners of the state come
to Olympia to share with lawmakers the story
that matters most. Yours.
“Everett Community College’s
Advanced Manufacturing
Training & Education Center’s
unmanned aerial vehicle
project was featured…at
the 2015 AWB Business
Manufacturing Summit…
[It is] just one key example
of what the next generation
of the manufacturing
workforce will use.”

“I am here to oppose House Bill 1314’s form
of implementation while supporting Governor
Inslee’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions…The trickle-down effect will be
that small businesses like our family-owned
farm will receive the brunt of the expense
of this bill. And we will be the ones who
can least afford it.”
Terry Willis, independent farmer, before the House
Appropriations Committee on the economic impacts of
the cap-and-trade carbon tax proposal, March 12, 2015
