I think we’re about ready to head back to in-person events come the fall. I’m not sure yet, however, so I’d very much appreciate your feedback here. Notably, in our other markets, the demand for virtual events has begun to fall off just as quickly as the demand for in-person events fell off in March, 2020. I think Washington State lags a bit, for cultural and regulatory reasons (see below), but I expect that is shifting.
So, please feel free to forward this email around to your colleagues so they can take the survey as well (and, of course, subscribe here). We’ll share the results with our community in a few weeks so you can see what folks are saying to us.
Each panelist will bring key questions or topics they think are worth discussing when it comes to improved outcomes through payment transformation. This event is free to attend, but you need to register to join us.
Come hear from our panelists, pose questions and participate in the conversation!

Today is day 93 of the 105-day legislative session. For such an abnormal period of time, with most of the session activities conducted virtually, this has been a somewhat ambitious session for Democratic majorities. Recent long sessions have seen some significant progressive legislating, like the public option bill and the long term care trust from 2019. This is a shift from a previously divided legislature and even the recession-hardened legislatures of most of the Gregoire years. Prior to that, the Locke years were largely centrist, too.
