Board Nominations
Washington Science Olympiad is always seeking hardworking, dedicated individuals to serve on the Board of Directors. To apply, complete the nomination form and submit a letter of intent to the State Director. Nominations for elections typically close by April 30 each year, with ballots sent to coaches before the summer Annual Meeting. Election results are announced at the Annual Meeting, and self-nominations are welcome and encouraged.
Meeting Minutes
Stay informed with the latest decisions and discussions from Washington Science Olympiad’s Board of Directors. Meeting minutes are available from 2013 onward. Please note that minutes must be approved at a subsequent board meeting before posting, so those from the current season may not be available until the following season begins.
