Join the Washington ABLE or DDETF governing board today!
Commerce is recruiting governing board members to play a crucial role in shaping the future of two amazing disability programs.
The Washington Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Savings Plan and the Developmental Disabilities Endowment Trust Fund (DDETF) are financial tools for people living with disabilities. They help people save and invest in their quality of life while remaining eligible for critical state and federal benefits.
Each board consists of seven members, some of whom are appointed by the Governor. Members are selected for the professional experience, life experience and expertise that they bring. These requirements uphold the mission of each program and the individuals it serves.
What it means to be a board member
Members serve four-year terms. Each board meets quarterly, and board members receive a stipend for their time. Travel costs for in-person meetings are covered.
How to apply
- Visit the Governor's webpage about State Boards
- Click on “Apply to a Board or Commission”
- Select the board you wish to serve on (you can apply for each board!)
- Complete and submit the online application
Please be aware the application review and appointment process can take several months. In addition to your online application, please notify the state administrator of your submission by emailing csp@commerce.wa.gov.
Thank you for your commitment to the continued success of the program.
