2026 Board of Directors
The Sound Legal Aid Board of Directors is comprised of dedicated members from partner organizations who share our mission. One director each is nominated by the Thurston County Bar Association, the Government Lawyers Bar Association, and the Washington Women Lawyers/Capitol Chapter. Additional "at-large" board members represent other counties in our service area, civil legal aid organizations, paralegals, and community partners.
