LCFRB is Seeking Applications for Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Members
(Volunteer, unpaid position)
The Board is looking to both expand the number of TAC members, as well as the expertise represented. The goal is to broaden the technical robustness of project reviews, bring additional expertise to other Board initiatives, and help balance project scoring by ensuring projects are viewed through multiple technical perspectives.
Read the full announcement here, and find more information on the TAC
on our TAC webpage.
Applicant letters of interest and resumes are due by September 30, 2020. For more information, contact Denise Smee, LCFRB Program Manager, at dsmee@lcfrb.gen.wa.us.
LCFRB Office is Closed
Staff Are Working From Home
Due to health concerns about the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), and Governor Inslee's "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" order, LCFRB has closed the office and staff are working from home. We are still using our LCFRB email address and office phone number for contacts. You can find staff information on the Contact Us page or Staff page of our website.
