Following a morning of great take-home value, attendees had the chance to partake in their choice of fun networking event. Some attendees opted to go the traditional Golf Scramble route at the beautiful Golf Club at Redmond Ridge, while others got to the distinctly Northwest Regional Bocce Ball event. Prizes for both Golf and Bocce were given during the Sunday business session. Thank you to all who made the trip to Bellevue! We can’t wait to see you in 2027.
