Laurie Weidner

I bring 35 years of government affairs, public affairs and strategic communications experience to my role as Executive Director of Retired Public Employees Council of Washington, a non-profit, labor-aligned statewide organization serving about 12,000 retired public sector employees. Before assuming this role in spring 2022, I worked for 1 1/2 years as as state agency lobbyist in Olympia, Washington. Before that time, I held Cabinet-level roles in higher education and K-12 education to include more than 10 years of experience serving as a public agency lobbyist in California overseeing local, county, state and federal relations.
