We were honored to host U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse (WA - 4 CD) for our annual Congressional Update Membership Luncheon on August 23. Congressman Newhouse addressed key legislation in Washington D.C., answered questions from the audience, and even played a lighthearted game of "heads or tails" with the crowd. Thank you to Battelle for sponsoring the luncheon.
