Shoreline City Councilmember Will Hall was elected to the Board of Directors of the Association of Washington Cities (AWC).  The election took place at the annual meeting of city officials in Kennewick last week.

“I am honored that city councilmembers from across the state elected me to represent them in this statewide leadership position,” said Councilmember Hall.  “It gives Shoreline a stronger voice on state policy issues and it gives our community more access to state and regional resources.”

Founded in 1933, AWC is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that provides advocacy, education, and services to all 281 cities and towns in Washington State.  AWC represents the interests of cities to the state and federal government, helping to secure adequate funding for city services and promoting legislation that helps our communities.

AWC is governed by a 25-member Board of Directors.  Councilmember Hall replaces Kenmore Mayor Dave Baker as a Director from a King County suburb.  “Mayor Baker is a great advocate for our cities at the state and federal level. I will work hard to carry on his strong record of leadership,” said Councilmember Hall.

The AWC Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and adopting the AWC budget, providing guidance on legislative proposals, and providing direction on other issues of concern to cities.  The Board meets several times each year.  Board members do not receive any compensation for their services.
