The mayor’s address will focus on issues pertinent to the business community including economic development, transportation and the local economy, according to a city of Kent media release.
It is expected Cooke also will cover highlights and accomplishments from last year as well as key issues on the city’s agenda moving forward.
“We’re very happy to again host this event for our members and the city overall,” said Andrea Keikkala, executive director of the Kent Chamber. “And you don’t have to be a member of the Chamber to attend.”
The cost is $30 per person, which includes lunch. The cost for Chamber members is $25. To register, visit www.kentchamber.com or send an e-mail to info@kentchamber.com or call 253-854-1770.
