This years WPC Statewide Small Business Conference was very well received by the over 250 attendees. Small business owners, legislators, and policymakers from all over Washington gathered in SeaTac on Tuesday, November 10th, to discuss the state's business climate at Washington Policy Center's 2009 Small Business Conference. During several interactive issue breakout sessions, business owners suggested and discussed solutions to improve the climate for small businesses in Washington. Co-sponsored by nearly 50 businesses, trade associations, and chambers of commerce across the state, this was the fourth statewide small business conference hosted by WPC since 2003. Panel recommendations include:
Unemployment Insurance Reform
1) Eliminate liberal construction of cases
