Gov. Jay Inslee will be the keynote speaker at the Island County Economic Development Council’s annual membership luncheon 11 a.m. Tuesday, March 24 in Oak Harbor.

Inslee will discuss the budget, transportation, economic development and education, according to Sami Postma of the EDC.

Postma said the governor will be on a tight schedule. As a result, questions will be limited to those pre-submitted by “table sponsors” no later than 4 p.m. on March 17.

The event is a fundraiser for the EDC, Postma said. Lunch is $40 and table sponsorships are $350.

The public is welcome to the event. For information, visit www.iscoedc.com or call 360-678-6889.
