WTIA's Arry Yu hosts many events every year.
This one is by far the best, most informative.
- WA State Department of Financial Institutions (DFI)'s Faith Anderson (Acting Director of Securities), Shannon Tushar (Program Manager Division of Banks), JJ Choi (Chief of Regulatory Affairs Division of Consumer Service). They have office hours that anyone can stop by or call for consultation.
- WTIA's Director of Government Affairs, Amy Harris on this past short legislative session in Olympia ($M tax ...).
- WA State Attorney General's AI Task Force lead, Yuki Ishizuka. Their most recent report is this PDF.
~180 people signed up, but less than 50 showed up. So much food. A pity.
Kudo to Arry who ordered dinner from a small business in the International District.
I also enjoy reading her newsletters, especially the 10 lessons she just learned recently.
