Two meetings of the Association are in the planning stages. The First one will have to do with the upcoming SODO Action Agenda as approved by the Mayor and City Council. It is nearly ready to begin the serious work that we hope to complete by fall/winter and returned to the city for possible implementation. Watch for the notice announcing the date of the kickoff meeting which will be scheduled for Qwest Field in the next few weeks.

The second meeting will be our now famous annual meeting which will be held on Sept. 18 at a soon to be disclosed surprise location. As always, it will be unique and a great deal of fun as well as educational. So, watch for that one too on this page and in our Newsbriefs. As for the rest of the year, we are open to suggestions as to what you would like us to explore as possible topics. Just let us know at info@sodobusinessassociation.org .

The 2nd Edition of the Resource Guide will be coming out soon. Limited numbers of the old Guide are still available. Click here to order.
