Boards & Commissions
Boards and commissions are designed to give citizens a voice in their government and provide a means of influencing decisions that shape the quality of life for the residents of our state. Participation on a board or commission is one of the most effective steps citizens can take in becoming an active voice in their government.
Washington state has 200+ boards and commissions to which Gov. Inslee appoints citizen members. Appointees are responsible for advising the Governor, the legislature, and state agencies. In some cases, a board or commission may be responsible for setting state policy and determining how the state's limited resources should be divided. Gov. Inslee takes great pride in appointing qualified, responsible members who reflect the diverse lifestyles of our state and who hold a strong belief in the public process.
