OLYMPIA – The Association of Washington Cities (AWC) announced that Auburn Councilmember Claude DaCorsi was recently elected to its Board of Directors.

“I look forward to being an active member of the board – it’s an exciting opportunity,” said DaCorsi. “My objective is to be as activity involved as I can with the cities in my district and around the state.”

DaCorsi was elected to the AWC board during the association’s Annual Business Meeting on June 22 in Vancouver, Wash. He serves district 13, which includes 16 cities in south King County. DaCorsi has served on the Auburn city council since 2014.

The AWC Board of Directors is the association’s governing body. The board is comprised of 25 directors, 23 of whom are mayors or city councilmembers from Washington cities or towns, and two non-elected city officials who also serve as the president and past president of the Washington City/County Management Association.

AWC serves its members through advocacy, education and services. Founded in 1933, AWC is a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan corporation that represents Washington's cities and towns before the state legislature, the state executive branch, and with regulatory agencies. Membership is voluntary. However, AWC consistently maintains 100 percent participation from Washington’s 281 cities and towns. AWC also provides training, data and publications, and programs such as the AWC Employee Benefit Trust, AWC Risk Management Service Agency, AWC Workers’ Comp Retro, AWC Drug and Alcohol Consortium, and AWC GIS Consortium.
