Committees
The Washington Clean Technology Alliance has four standing committees:
Board of Directors: The Board is the governing body of the WCTA. It is made up of executives that are elected from member companies. Board members serve staggered three-year terms and meet quarterly. Bill McSherry of Boeing is the Board Chair; Marc Cummings of Battelle/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is the Vice Chair, and David Allen of McKinstry is the Past Chair.
Executive Committee: The Executive Committee meets monthly to deal with oversight of the organization. The Executive Committee consists of seven board members. Each Board officer is a member (Chair, Vice Chair, Past Chair, Treasurer). Three additional members of the Board are elected to the committee by the full Board of Directors.
Government Affairs Committee: The Government Affairs Committee (GAC) is chaired by Marc Cummings of Battelle/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Its purpose is to oversee the WCTA’s positions on issues of public policy.
WCTA members bring issues to the attention of the Government Affairs Committee. The GAC then makes recommendations to the Board of Directors, which has ultimate approval authority over WCTA positions on matters of public policy. In general, the WCTA is concerned with the development of the cleantech economic sector in Washington State: Jobs, products, company formation, and the success of its members.
WCTA members are welcome to join the Government Affairs Committee. Contact us to get on the mailing list.
Events Committee: The Events Committee is chaired by Peter Cancelmo of Garvey Schubert Barer. The Events Committee oversees and plans WCTA networking, social, and educational events. This includes monthly breakfasts/lunches, social events during the summer and after hours, and bigger events such as industry showcases and the annual meeting.
WCTA members are welcome to join the Events Committee. Contact us to get on the mailing list.
