Guest speakers include:
  • Community Action, Executive Director, Bill Henkle 
  • Home Trust of Skagit ​County, Executive Director, Jodi Dean
  • Skagit County Public Health, Manager - Community Services Division, George Kosovich

The audience (max 100 ppl) will include many connected service providers and potentially some allies in politics all hoping to see our intention of working together to do more.  Audience questions and feedback will open for 15 minutes after the 30-minute panel topics conclude.  There will be an option to stay to continue socially talking with the audience and each other over refreshments, after.  (So, plan for at least an hour to an hour and a half in total) 
Held indoors at the Vinery at Christianson's, Best Rd Mount Vernon.
   
Subject of discussion:  Affordable Housing for single income households, fixed and low income earners.  Especially considering our local senior population struggling with repetitious rent increases and our working homeless citizens, struggling to afford adequate housing.
