Our Board
Washington Business Week is governed by a 100% volunteer Board of Directors. The majority of our Board members have experienced the life-changing nature of our programs either by participating as high school students and/or volunteering for the program as adults. They are passionate and committed to improving the lives of Washington State’s youth. We aim to have a diverse Board of Directors from gender to race and ethnicity, to also include various industries that reflect the businesses across Washington State.
