Board of Directors

The TCVLS Board of Directors is made up of representatives from organizations who are committed to our mission.  There are three representatives each from Thurston County Bar Association, the Government Lawyers Bar Association, and Washington Women Lawyers/Capitol Chapter.  Other directors are considered “at large” board members and represent other counties in the TCVLS coverage area, other civil legal aid organizations, paralegals, and community partners.

If you are interested in applying to be on the TCVLS Board of Directors, please contact the Executive Director at (360) 515-5381.
