Washington Self-Insurers Association
Committee Information

The success of any organization is directly related to the level of involvement of its members, and now is a great time to get involved in your Association’s committees.

Please note: Committee membership is not automatically renewed from the preceding year!

If you would like to get involved, please fill out the Involvement form and fax or email to WSIA.
Here are the six WSIA committees and their duties:

WSIA Membership & Marketing Committee
The Membership & Marketing Committee’s role is to help develop a formal membership and marketing plan for the Association that will promote our services to nonmember companies, as well as meet the needs of current members. Your commitment would be approximately five (5) or six (6) meetings between July and June, as well as acting as a “good will” ambassador at WSIA events throughout the year.

WSIA Conference Planning Committee
The Conference Planning Committee is a committee that helps carry out continuous and comprehensive education programs related to worker’s compensation laws, regulations, and the dissemination of information on all relevant matters to the membership. Your commitment is flexible: if you are involved in assisting with any one program, it would entail approximately four (4) meetings between July and April. You may choose to assist with more than one program during the year.

WSIA Regional Meeting Committee

WSIA Legislative Committee
The Legislative Committee’s overall purpose is to consider and address all legislative issues that might impact self-insured workers’ compensation and make recommendations to the WSIA Board of Directors. This is accomplished in a proactive manner by encouraging as broad a representation and participation on the committee as possible. Our goal is to continue the positive work being done to develop our legislative agenda, keep the membership informed, and solicit feedback from our members. Your commitment would be approximately six (6) meetings between July and June, as well as to support the Vice-President for Legislation during the legislative session.

WSIA Amicus Subcommittee [open to Employer and Attorney members only]
This specialized committee reviews guiding factors for use in consideration of filing Amicus
Briefs by the Association, to assist in the Board of Directors’ ability to ascertain whether to
accept the recommendations of the committee and file a brief.

WSIA/AWB Legal Subcommittee [open to Employer and Attorney members only]
This joint committee with the AWB (Association of Washington Business) helps review
legislative issues, draft bill and amendment language to meet legislative goals, and provide
guidance for our legislative and administrative activities.
