2027 Legislative Session
Hospitality Hill Climb
Make Your Voice Heard in Olympia
Presented by
Program Overview
Legislators make decisions every day that affect restaurants, hotels, and the hospitality workforce. Nothing is more powerful than hearing directly from the people who run these businesses.
Your story puts a face on the policies being debated and builds the kind of trusted relationship that lasts well beyond a single session. Lawmakers remember the operators who take the time to show up, and those relationships are what make our advocacy effective all year long.
Join us for our 2027 Legislative Session Hospitality Hill Climb, presented by U.S. Bank, on Thursday, January 28 in Olympia. This all-day event is an opportunity to meet with your lawmakers in person and share what’s happening in your business.
How can you make your voice heard in Olympia? Complete the interest form below by Friday, December 18.
Space is limited. Requesting a spot is not a confirmation of attendance.
We’ll arrange meetings based on lawmaker availability and priority legislative districts. Members who are available all day and whose business or voting district matches those priority districts will receive first consideration.
Confirmations, along with your meeting schedule and logistics, will be sent separately.
Can’t join us in person? Let us know on the form and we’ll work to schedule a virtual meeting with your lawmaker.
