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
