WSSDA Liaison Representatives

Dozens of school board members represent their Association at meetings ranging from the Public School Art Advisory Committee or the State Board of Education's Facility Committee to representatives on each of the college and university teacher and administrator certification programs. Some of these "Liaison Representatives" are requested by programs at the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, State Board of Education, Department of Natural Resources, Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, State Board for Community College Education and the Department of Social and Health Services.

As other groups and organizations examine their roles relative to public education, they too make requests of the Association for a liaison. Appointment to these positions is made by the Association president. To be considered as a liaison representative, make sure you indicate an interest in a particular area on the Committee Interest Form provided at annual conference. You may also contact the WSSDA office in Olympia and ask that your interest in serving in this capacity be noted. Then, when requests are made of the Association, the president has a list of people from whom to choose.
