YOUR VOICE. YOUR BUSINESS. YOUR SPOKANE.

SPOKANE BUSINESS ASSOCIATION

THANK YOU SPOKANE!

Spokane’s future is shaped in the room, but built by what happens after we leave it.

On September 22, hundreds of people from across our community came together for the Spokane Business Association Annual Dinner.

Business leaders. Community leaders. Public servants. Friends. Neighbors. People who may not always agree, but who care deeply about Spokane and its future.

Thank you to every sponsor, volunteer, board member, staff member, guest, and community partner who helped make this event possible. And thank you to everyone who simply chose to be in the room.

We were honored to welcome prize-winning journalist Michael Powell and grateful for the thoughtful conversation he brought to Spokane.

We also celebrated AscendA for the work it does to give people the opportunity for a reset and a path forward, and Jim Hanley for his years of dedication to creating a place in East Central where people can live, work, and build community. Spokane is stronger because of the people and organizations willing to invest their time, energy, and ideas into this community.

Thank you for showing up for Spokane.
