What's Brewing–2026 Short Session Legislative Recap

March 12, 2026 5:00 PM - 7:30 PM (PDT)

Description



What happens in Salem has a real impact on businesses here in Bend and across Central Oregon. The 2026 Legislative Session is in its final days, with lawmakers taking on issues that range from taxes, jobs, and recreational liability waivers to land use and housing supply.

The Bend Chamber advocacy team has kept a close eye on what’s happening and advocated for the issues that matter most to our business community.

Join us for a conversation about the Chamber’s 2026 legislative wins and losses, alongside our local legislative delegation as they share their final thoughts on the session.

We will also highlight how Central Oregon communities are working together to advocate for shared priorities through the Regional Business Alliance. This is a must-attend What’s Brewing!

Speakers include Senator Anthony Broadman, Representatives Jason Kropf and Emerson Levy, Jennifer Stephens, Program Manager, Regional Business Alliance, Sara Odendahl, CEO, Bend Chamber, and Emily Boyd, Government Affairs Manager, Bend Chamber.
