Description
Join in welcoming SK native and WA State Chief of Staff Jay Manning to the Port Orchard Chamber of Commerce Membership Luncheon, as he brings us a Budget and Planning Update, and discusses the next steps to support economic reinvigoration by transforming state government, making it more efficient and effective. Once we navigate the precarious circumstances of this budget crisis, is there a bi-partisan solution to building a foundation that both encourages economic restoration and can sustain the vital partnership between state government services and functions?
Jay Manning was appointed Chief of Staff to Governor Christine O. Gregoire in 2009. He works closely with the Governor, her Senior Staff and Cabinet on all facets of state government. He chairs the Governor’s Cabinet, and her Sub-Cabinets on Job Creation/Economic Development, Natural Resources and Energy and Climate.
Prior to his appointment as Chief of Staff, Jay was director of the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology). The Department of Ecology is the state’s primary environmental agency and while Director, Jay focused the agency’s efforts on restoring Puget Sound, reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, improving water supplies and streamflows, better protecting wetlands and reducing the threat to people and the environment posed by toxic chemicals.
Before coming to Ecology, Jay spent six years in private law practice, most recently as the managing partner of Brown, Reavis and Manning PLLC. From 2000-04, Jay was president of the Board of Directors for Washington Environmental Council. Before that, he spent 15 years working as an assistant attorney general, including nearly six years as head of the Ecology Division.
