Invitation to attend the Washington Small Business Forum on June 15 in Tukwila 5/16/2016 Dear Business Organization & Government Agency representatives: You are invited to attend the Washington Small Business Forum on Wednesday, June 15, 2016. We will be meeting at the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries’ offices in Tukwila. The forum will be from 9:00am until noon. We hold a forum twice a year, and the agencies and organizations that have participated find the information, opportunity to network and exchange of ideas very valuable. We have several informative presentations this time – · Andy Cameron from the US Department of Labor will let us know about retirement plan options for small businesses. · Patrick Reed of the Secretary of State’s Office will update us on new state legislation affecting small businesses. · James McCafferty from the Center for Economic and Business Research at WWU will tell us about research and analysis projects that the Center for Economic and Business Research at Western Washington University conducts and how they can help small businesses. · Tuyen Manikhoth from the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries will give us an overview of L&I’s Stay At Work Program. See the attached flyer for directions and details. The purpose of the Small Business Forum is to assemble representatives from business and industry organizations, along with representatives of various federal and state government agencies to hear presentations, as well as to provide a time and place for roundtable discussion. This forum will be hosted by the IRS and the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries. I will send out an agenda as we get closer to the forum date. We look forward to seeing you or someone else from your organization at the forum on June 15th. Please let me know by June 1st if you plan to attend, so we can ensure that we have enough handout materials. Please email or call me if you have any questions. Thank you, Kari Kari Gilje Senior Stakeholder Liaison IRS Communications & Stakeholder Outreach Ph 206.946.3539
