Legislative Conference

January 28-29, 2024

On Jan. 28, the WASA • WSSDA • WASBO Legislative Conference is your opportunity to hear updates on our shared legislative priorities, the current education budget and policy landscape, and how to effectively advocate for our collective needs.

Then, on Jan. 29, we’ll take what we learned at the conference and apply it in pre-arranged meetings with legislators and their staff in Olympia. That day is referred to as Day on the Hill.
