Connecting Our Business Community with Candidates

Creating opportunities for Southwest Washington’s business community to engage directly with candidates for the Washington State Legislature.

The Southwest Washington Contractors Association (SWCA) and Greater Vancouver Chamber recently joined together to host a forum giving local business leaders and community members an opportunity to connect directly with candidates for the Washington State Legislature.

As nonpartisan organizations, SWCA and GVC are committed to creating opportunities for meaningful civic engagement and informed conversation. The forum provided attendees with a chance to hear directly from candidates, ask questions, and learn more about their priorities and perspectives on issues that matter to our business community.

Events like this help create space for dialogue between the business community and those seeking to serve in public office. By bringing candidates and community members together, these conversations provide an opportunity to better understand different perspectives and the issues being discussed across Southwest Washington.

We’re grateful to everyone who participated, attended, and helped make the conversation possible. Creating opportunities for open dialogue strengthens connections throughout our community and helps ensure business leaders have a place at the table.

Thank you to the Southwest Washington Contractors Association for partnering with us on this important community conversation.
