Six seats open on King County's Immigrant and Refugee Commission
Dear Community Partners,
The Office of Equity and Social Justice and King County Council are currently recruiting for six vacant positions on the King County Immigrant and Refugee Commission.
Commissioners from across King County work together to identify, elevate and develop shared strategies and solutions; streamline and strengthen efforts; and bring more resources to the most pressing issues affecting immigrant and refugee communities. It’s important that applicants:
- Are immersed in one or more immigrant/refugee communities and represent immigrant-led and/or faith-based organizations, when possible;
- Reflect the racial, ethnic, professional, socioeconomic, gender, sexual orientation, age, and geographic diversity of King County communities;
- Are well-versed on the issues affecting immigrant and refugee communities locally as well as nationally.
While we’re conducting broad outreach, we want to ensure equal representation across membership and hope to recruit community members who live or work in the 1st, 2nd, 7th, and 8th King County Council districts. (Don't know your district? Use the Find My Districts mapping application).
We’re also hoping to fill up to two organizational representative seats. Members who serve on the commission as an organizational representative must be nominated by a nonprofit organization that serves one or more immigrant and refugee communities in King County.
Applications will be accepted until all positions are filled.
Please contact KCIRC staff liaisons at kcirc@kingcounty.gov if you have any questions or would like to connect and learn more!
