OLYMPIA – The Association of Washington Cities (AWC) announced that Oak Harbor’s Mayor Pro Tem Beth Munns was recently reelected to its Board of Directors.

“I am pleased to have the opportunity to work with my colleagues on AWC’s Board of Directors,” said Munns. “I know that we can accomplish a great deal on behalf of the cities and towns in Washington.”

Munns was reelected to the AWC Board during the association’s Business Meeting on June 28 in Yakima. She serves district 14, which includes 19 cities and towns in the counties of Island, San Juan, Skagit, and Whatcom.

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.
