50 Years of Washington Business Week
Since 1976, Washington Business Week has brought high school students and the professional community together to learn and grow through the power of business, leadership, and teamwork. What started as a single program on the Central Washington University campus 50 years ago, has grown into an internationally recognized youth development program, impacting over 75,000 young people and shaping their futures.

Celebrate with us and make a difference! We invite alumni, partners, and community members to join in, and share your stories. Your support—whether through volunteering, sponsorship, or financial donations—will help ensure another 50 years.

Through the ongoing support of this community, we will empower the next generation of leaders and innovators across Washington and around the globe.
