Formed in 1922, WSSDA has grown to consist of 1,477 locally elected school board directors from across Washington. As a state agency, per chapter 28A.345 RCW, WSSDA supports its members with research-based leadership development resources, policy, legal guidance, and legislative advocacy. This work is of critical importance because school board directors build the future of public education by setting the policy, governance, and budgetary priorities for all of Washington's 295 school districts serving approximately 1.1 million students.

The purpose of this procurement is to recruit an advocacy consultant to assist the WSSDA Strategic Advocacy Team with critical and complex advocacy efforts focused on K-12 budget, school construction and capital, trust lands, and/or legislative strategy.
