Leading Effective CRE Advocacy in Washington
We’ve built a dynamic team focused on elevating our members, strengthening our brand, and driving greater impact across municipalities – from Seattle City Hall to Olympia. With this expanded presence, we’re actively engaging new decision-makers, forging key relationships and ensuring your priorities are front and center where policies are shaped. Led by Director of Government Affairs Carter Nelson, this team represents a cross-section of expertise and leadership that will allow us to remain nimble and agile as threats and opportunities arise in 2026.
