Business Partners Program

Counties are engaged in delivering a broad range of services, from public health and safety to road construction and environmental mitigation to social services. To deliver efficient and quality  services, these local governments need the administrative service infrastructure for tens of thousands of employees. Washington's counties are looking to the private and nonprofit sectors for innovation and solutions  to improve their performance.

Our Business Partner Program is designed to give you and county officials opportunities to exchange ideas and information. The program provides valuable opportunities to market your organization and learn about opportunities with Washington's 39 counties. County officials, in return, are proud of and appreciative of the relationships afforded through the Business Partner Program.
