Diverse community members collaborating during a commission meeting

Commissions

Commissions are designed to give Washingtonians a voice in their government and allow community members to influence decisions that shape the quality of life for the residents of our state. Participation on a board or commission is one of the most effective steps community members can take in becoming an active voice in their government.

Represent your community by volunteering with a Commission.
