Washington Food Coalition Board of Directors

Board members are responsible for determining Washington Food Coalition policy in human resources, planning, finance, community relations, and organizational operations. The WFC Board of Directors is elected from the coalition membership. The Board is representative of the state through the creation of 14 districts, outlined below, and the addition of several at-large seats. Each district elects two representatives, a Primary and an Alternate. The Alternate Representative serves as a backup to the Primary Representative and the district. Board members are elected to a two-year term in alternating years.
