Welcome to Industry Insights, our new e-newsletter from the AWB Institute (AWBI). As you know, the Institute is AWB's home for research on human resource and employment issues, including workforce development, workplace safety and environmental compliance. The Institute advocates for public policy positions at the state and federal levels and develops best practices for Washington employers and members of AWB.

This newsletter is one way for us to keep you more informed about industry trends, new research and other Institute happenings and events. Industry Insights will publish the second Friday of the month and hopefully, over time, will grow into a more frequent distribution.

If you would like to receive our 'Industry Insight' newsletter, contact Mike Hudson with the AWB Institute at 360.943.1600.
