Hello Payroll Family!

We’re thrilled to reconnect with our payroll friends and colleagues in Washington and beyond. Like many, our chapter faced some challenges during and after COVID—but thanks to a few dedicated individuals, we held on. Now, we’re ready to rebuild, reenergize, and bring back regular meetings, networking events, and community connections.

Whether you’re based in Washington, process payroll for the state, or simply love our profession (and this beautiful corner of the country), we’re so glad you’re here.

More details are coming soon, but if you’re interested in getting involved—as a member, leader, speaker, or advisor—we’d love to hear from you!
