Board Officer Elections
Latest Election Results
Congratulations to Directors Rick Jansons and Danny Edwards. They will formally assume their new roles at the close of November’s WSSDA Annual Conference.
General information
Bylaws state that the WSSDA Board will have four officers who serve one-year terms: president, president-elect, vice president, and immediate past president. The vice president is elected from the east side of the Cascade mountains in even-numbered years and from the west side of the Cascades in odd-numbered years. A school director can’t simultaneously serve as a board officer and as a statewide elected official or member of the state Legislature. If an officer seat becomes vacant for any reason, a special election is held.
