Legislative Sendoff Set for December 4

The Shelton-Mason County Chamber, North Mason Chamber, and Economic Development Council of Mason County will host a Legislative Sendoff on December 4 at Alderbrook Golf and Yacht Club. This annual event provides community members with an invaluable opportunity to connect with local officials and engage in discussions on key legislative priorities for the upcoming year. Our thanks goes out to Green Diamond Resource Company for sponsoring this event.

The Sendoff will feature our state legislators—Senator Drew MacEwen (R-Union), Representative Dan Griffey (R-Allyn), and Representative Travis Couture (R-Allyn)—who will address anticipated issues and priorities set to shape the 2025 legislative session. Attendees will gain firsthand insights into the legislative agenda that could impact our region, offering a clearer understanding of the policy landscape ahead.

The event will begin at 7:30a with a breakfast at Alderbrook Golf and Yacht Club. Pre-registration is required and pricing is dependent upon Chamber & EDC membership/tier. Chamber members registration is $25 per person. (Shelton-Mason County Chamber members, please note that registration is not included at any level of membership.) Prospects and community members may attend at the full rate of $35 per person. Reservations are required.

The Legislative Sendoff serves as a vital occasion to discuss community concerns with lawmakers and prepare for legislative developments in the coming year. Don’t miss this meaningful opportunity to be part of a conversation that strengthens our community’s voice in the state’s legislative process.

Washington state crafts its critical budgets – operating, capital, and transportation – every two years. The 105-day session will begin on January 13, 2025 and will develop the biennial budget, address significant policy issues, and pass legislation.

The Chambers and EDC collectively serve as the voice of the business community and we make it a point to be at the heart of important issues like workforce development, quality of life, and civic engagement. That said, we are not political action committees and do not endorse candidates; we are independent organizations led by the private sector. The Chambers and EDC provide nonpartisan information and host community education and outreach opportunities, especially those that affect policy.
