Washington Roundtable
 

Annual Reports:

The Roundtable releases two major reports each year. (1) Our Policy Agenda, released in November, sets forth policy priorities for the coming legislative session and calendar year. The Roundtable's policy priorities are developed and adopted through an extensive process, which includes the compilation of input and ideas from each of the members, open debate among the group, and a majority vote of the full Board. (2) The Chair's Report, released in the spring/summer following the legislative session, evaluates progress related to the Roundtable's established priorities. Additional reports and issue briefs are released throughout the year.
