Governance

The Washington Food Coalition is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. In addition to managing their own emergency food programs, WFC Board members devote their time and energy to statewide efforts to alleviate hunger. Board members are responsible for determining WFC 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 and the addition of several at-large seats. Each district elects two representatives, a Primary and an Alternate. Board members are elected to a two-year term in alternating years. The Board also elects four At-Large representatives from the coalition membership. The board then selects its officers from the elected representatives.
