Washington State Association of Counties Names Derek Young as Executive Director
OLYMPIA, WA — The Washington State Association of Counties (WSAC) is pleased to announce the appointment of Interim Executive Director Derek Young as the association’s permanent Executive
Director. After an extensive national search process, the Board of Directors concluded its efforts with a vote of approval during its quarterly meeting on Thursday, May 8, in SeaTac,
WA.
“We are pleased to have selected a candidate who brings deep experience and a strong commitment to county government in Washington State,” shared WSAC President and Executive Search
Committee member, Rob Coffman. “We are working together to ensure a smooth transition and are confident our organization and membership are in capable hands.”
Mr. Young has served as WSAC’s Interim Executive Director since May 2024. His career includes two decades of public service, including as a councilmember for the City of Gig Harbor and
Pierce County. He has been involved in government advocacy on both state and national levels, serving as co-chair on WSAC’s Legislative Steering Committee and on the National Association
of Counties’ Health Policy Steering Committee.
Derek stated, "I'm grateful for the Board's trust. It's a pleasure to work with our incredible WSAC team, supporting county public servants and their critical work."
His appointment as Executive Director is effective immediately.
