We're pleased to invite you to the Oregon and Washington Bankers Associations' annual Capitol Hill Visit to be held in our nation's capital September 21-23, 2026.
It is critical that bankers from the Pacific Northwest make this annual trip to build relationships with decision-makers in Washington, D.C. It is also important that the unique perspective of Pacific Northwest bankers is a part of the national debate. Top regulatory officials, national associations and our members of Congress all need to hear from bankers about the issues impacting our ability to serve our customers and communities.
We look forward to your involvement in this valuable experience.
