Opportunities to serve as a Regional Director in one of six regions are available for you.  As a director, you will commit to a two-year term to help drive alternative education at the State level.

Your commitment to attend two meetings per year, September and May, as well as the fall and spring conferences allows you to gain an in-depth understanding of alternative education in the State of Washington.  The chance to lead, participate and plan conferences, work within budgetary constraints and policy making will provide you with a fulfilling and rewarding experience. 

As a State board member, you will meet people who share similar views of alternative education. You will also meet those who have developed innovative programs that are focused on the individual needs of the students we serve. 

In order to experience the joy of directorship, please review the following:

There are six director positions up for election - One position in each region.  Region boundaries are determined by county lines.

If you are going to seek reelection or to be considered for a position, please go to the election page, download and fill in the candidate form and send it to the WALA business office.

Attendance at the Spring Conference in Vancouver is required.

We look forward to having you pursue this opportunity.
