We’re looking for new Cost Board members
The Cost Board is currently seeking new members to fill several vacancies. If you have interest in health care economics and financing, we encourage you to apply through the Governor’s Office.
- Who we’re looking for
-
We invite you to apply if you have a background in health care or related fields such as:
- Health data analytics
- Clinical practice
We hope to build a diverse candidate pool that reflects Washington’s communities, including varied professional experiences, lived experiences, and geographic representation — particularly central and eastern Washington.
- Insurance carriers,
- Health care providers, or
- Public service with an interest in health care.
- More about the opening

The Cost Board has hybrid meetings (virtual and in person) about seven times a year. Meetings typically run from 2–5 p.m.
This is a volunteer position; members are not financially compensated. However, your work will directly impact health care transparency, affordability, and accountability in Washington state.
Submit your application through the Office of the Governor’s portal. The Governor will review and appoint the new board members.
If you have questions, please contact the Cost Board team. We also encourage you to share this opportunity with colleagues who may be interested.
