Meet the WSSDA Board of Directors

WSSDA's governing body is its 17-member board of directors. It includes three officers and 12 directors, one from each of WSSDA's 11 Director Areas (except in DA 2, which has two representatives). In addition, the board has two ex-officio positions — the immediate past president and (when applicable) a Washington state school director who serves on the board of directors of the National School Boards Association. The WSSDA board normally meets six times a year.
