Leadership.

Show your passion for employee benefits and become a leader with the Pacific Northwest ISCEBS Chapter. Showcase your talents to colleagues and potential employers.  Becoming a Chapter leader or volunteer enables even greater opportunity to network with members and get the most out of being a member.  

Board of Directors

​The Board of Directors is responsible for managing the operation of the chapter and providing professional development opportunities to chapter members. Please feel free to contact any board member or email us on the board if you are interested in volunteering for the Board or have any questions.  

The 2025 Board of Directors is composed of four Chapter Officers and six Directors At Large. A corp of volunteers also helps the Board accomplish their goals and operate the chapter.

Attend a Board Meeting

The Board meets monthly to discuss Chapter business and operations, including educational event planning.  Board of Director meetings are conducted via web meeting/conference call which usually occur on the 2nd Thursday of every month from 10:00am to 11:00am.  If you would like to attend Chapter Board meetings, please register using the following link:
