Jordan said responses varied by section: some sections reported roughly 60% in favor, with about 30% opposed and 10% undecided; other outreach to different sections produced the reverse, with about 50% opposed and 40% in favor. Jordan said the plaintiff’s bar in particular responded with stronger opposition related to separate concerns about entity regulation.
Jordan also related that a respondent suggested forming a citizen advisory council or committee as a better method for getting regular public input than appointing a single public member to the board. Jordan said the idea resonated with an earlier comment from Governor Nguyen and that he intends to continue refining a proposal to involve community members more meaningfully.
The transcript shows Jordan described the survey as “very unscientific” and that he has not yet brought a formal proposal; he said he will continue developing options for board consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Governors Meeting July 18, 2025, Part 12: Governor Roundtable","oneSentenceSummary","A governor reported mixed survey results on whether to add a public (non‑member) representative to the Board of Governors and said a citizen advisory council might better gather public input.","taxTitle","Bar Association, State Agencies, Executive, Washington","taxId",68462,"location","Washington","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6157135,"Governor outlines plan to bring mock‑trial materials to local Boys and Girls Club",160,354000,514000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5466319-721671d9d33f0f965b11eda244a61df9&start=354&end=514","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5466319-721671d9d33f0f965b11eda244a61df9/thumbnail_354000.jpg","/articles/6157135/Washington/Governor-outlines-plan-to-bring-mocktrial-materials-to-local-Boys-and-Girls-Club","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6157135-7152240664864f40cf487c3a0e74dfea/orig.mp4?Expires=1773663208&Signature=TK71Ge8ka0yq7bqaI~iVW60gusq3KXCDggi7drBXcGyjbWJR7H59zKFJUHuPLQANGbDHKF7ZpJn4jzIj6DFGHjyOUYNncJCDvjuouoBz74e7RRHkppBUXDpNzmhw7X2tTyxOngs34xmbOdibP5aUKvkmKIYqT5YDwS4kPwW6Jr3qHG1B-5Po1RCadzeJqiyVFu6ImiYgYvLjQyZ6-YW5iGSvqG4zbVD8xCQ9~t2sIQpALI5yHVlwl1YoQ2Nw92~PBnqz0OWf1WlggjRYct1rCdBmj7-nGOlcreDRoCppb8rfCGBm13jE75C69IGhltfoV0aR31icZfec4LqI5WKvDw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Governor Mary, a member of the Board of Governors, described a plan to introduce youth to the legal profession by presenting mock‑trial materials endorsed by the board at a local Boys and Girls Club in September.
Mary said the idea grew out of a retreat exercise and a staff presentation on meeting conduct that emphasized combining idea generation with staff members who can help execute projects. She said she contacted a local Boys and Girls Club and arranged to present materials in September, adding, “I admitted I'm not equipped to do a full mock trial team at this time, but just to get the ball rolling.”
Mary said the approach of having ‘‘doers and shakers’’ (staff) at the same table with idea people (board members) produced tangible follow‑up during the retreat and that similar sessions could help the board turn ideas into programs aimed at access to the legal profession.
The transcript records this as a member initiative; there was no formal board endorsement recorded at the meeting. Mary named Sarah as the staff presenter who contributed background material at the retreat. The plan includes producing materials that would be “endorsed by the board” so participating youth would recognize the board’s role, but the transcript does not record a formal endorsement vote.","A governor said she will present board‑endorsed mock‑trial materials at a Boys and Girls Club in September to introduce youth to the legal profession and recommended more idea‑to‑execution joint sessions between board members and staff.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6157136,"Parliamentarian proposes adding mission‑fit justification to policy templates",89,257000,346000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5466319-721671d9d33f0f965b11eda244a61df9&start=257&end=346","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5466319-721671d9d33f0f965b11eda244a61df9/thumbnail_257000.jpg","/articles/6157136/Washington/Parliamentarian-proposes-adding-missionfit-justification-to-policy-templates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6157136-9d9c54afb6367ea6fafdca7bbb0404fa/orig.mp4?Expires=1773663208&Signature=Dxo3BSLo8-eSb5jgwpzZ4xeZzEE4gQZq6ccRT5XLKm17bdwV3Zysw3guvOpWz3Al~r~iCo~-33Ka0~qtTcsjvk3Ynkf9MRbSfL2drpS9rfO54AfOnsbyDJ~V8~bQvsU0hxyxODLuqwqZMc738RRQOD3z8OEilvjJQzDyPbzv4EUazVInJz11h2fS8H85ZBS2wmfa~b1lu1dMyar7b9yJT07DY8BPmghQNGA90djlykrh9hNmWqEg2AiE4NSDaDb2V89-KlXPmt0C2Qx7kaKlNkNqzpQavL4dSKZGbOmhZewbsaL3cYDdU4OfZcGbYHyIVa-hBi7Aufn6-gPtjC3MVg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Parliamentarian Stephen, the board’s parliamentarian, recommended adding a brief explanation of how each proposed action aligns with the Board of Governors’ mission to the template used for policy proposals.
Stephen said the suggested template addition would document why an action falls within the board’s mission and what parts of the mission it addresses, noting that “should we be sued, that’s not the time when we wanna go back and now say, oh, yeah. How did that apply as opposed to having it already in the record.”
Stephen described the idea as a preventive recordkeeping step: if a future legal challenge arises, a policy record that explicitly cites mission language and rationale would be available. He said the change could be a short field added to forms used when bringing items forward.
The transcript records this as a member suggestion; no formal motion to change templates or bylaws was made during the roundtable.","A parliamentarian suggested the board add a short 'mission fit' statement to policy templates so future records show how actions align with the board’s mission in case of legal challenge.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6157137,"Governor asks governance committee to consider 12‑month limit between ordinance readings",74,154000,228000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5466319-721671d9d33f0f965b11eda244a61df9&start=154&end=228","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5466319-721671d9d33f0f965b11eda244a61df9/thumbnail_154000.jpg","/articles/6157137/Washington/Governor-asks-governance-committee-to-consider-12month-limit-between-ordinance-readings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6157137-a7cd20e6ca578fac19296584af09d387/orig.mp4?Expires=1773663208&Signature=FJTtuqPMNZMe-6I64Rvf7stqMc35CjHZIe4gKNfb0DqJHP5jmeH1mLlrUZcYIgDe6N97OEBNIp2CAL7w4rRMsV~yypIskOn4lKcIuzBSpdhtgWOKsOg-WAO1VjeV-ASdWpcApfk1zUV1MGGkvBkmzdukoNRxQk9V8YmPQihhqwGOnPSiEhTwbO-5n7pqnJLQqDc0-bPZjztd9IsKsHCPRtROI-sOcyb74GwfGdW8VgujA4x3esd5DyoegHtDmuTHQvBZ9VlKIgCtbgPflIT9Dv0lez4IISLt6HGjpsRqQjbvUpY6XmSdRIVi-qyq1iod9oJ~DB4iHrvrqVFEYdJ8Mw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Governor Emily, a member of the Board of Governors, asked the board’s governance committee to consider setting a time limit of about 12 months between first and second readings of items, citing a recent item that had its first reading more than two years earlier.
The request came during the governors’ roundtable in Walla Walla, where Governor Emily said the young‑lawyer item that reached second reading had been first presented “over 2 years ago” and that “only 6 of the 14 or so voting members who are here today were actually on the board at that time.”
The governor framed the proposal as a fairness and practical concern: if many current voters were not on the board when an item had its first reading, those members would be hearing it for the first time at second reading. Emily said she did not believe the content required a different vote but asked the governance committee to consider a formal limit going forward.
The transcript records the request as a member suggestion to the governance committee; there was no motion, vote, or formal direction recorded during the roundtable. The board did not adopt any rule change at the meeting.
The suggestion followed other governance topics discussed during the roundtable, including proposals about policy templates and public engagement. Absent a formal motion, any change to the board’s rules or bylaws would require a later proposal and a vote at a properly noticed meeting.","A governor asked the Board of Governors’ governance committee to consider a policy limiting the time between first and second readings after noting a two‑year gap on a recent young‑lawyer item and turnover in voting membership.","actionData","errors"]
