Welcome to 2022 Ports-Maritime Day, a day of focused advocacy for ports and the maritime industry in Olympia during Legislative Session. We bring together ports with key legislators and staff to discuss our legislative priorities and to learn more about the important issues of the Session.
This year, we will be offering an online Ports - Maritime Day Day via Zoom.
There is no charge to attend Ports- Maritime Day, and we hope you are able to come and support the advocacy efforts of your Government Affairs team here at the WPPA and the Washington Maritime Federation.
