Meeting Schedule and Information
Public Meetings and Engagement
As a three-member Board, any two members meeting can constitute a quorum and is subject to the governance of the state Open Public Meetings Act. The Board holds a variety of public meetings held in the Boardroom at agency headquarters and accessible on-line through Microsoft Teams. Each meeting has a distinct purpose as described below.
Additional Board Responsibilities
In addition to these public meetings, the Board meets regularly with the public health and prevention community, regulated industry associations, legislators, as well as licensees and residents of Washington.
Board members are very involved throughout the agency, including participating in employee engagement and outreach, the Social Equity in Cannabis Program and the enterprise-wide Systems Modernization Project.
Board Caucus
Effective May 6, 2025, the Board will meet for caucus every other Tuesday morning to discuss agency business. Caucus discussions include review of items for consideration at upcoming Board meetings, agency divisional or project updates from staff, as well as reports from industry affiliates or subject experts from across the country. Caucus is also a time when Board members receive executive assistant reports and Board member to Board member updates/reports.
While open to the public for observation, caucus meetings are held with the Board as the intended audience to get updates from staff and others and have opportunity to discuss the agenda items with those presenting and among themselves. The general public does not have opportunity to make comment or testify.
Board Meeting
Effective May 7, 2025, Board meetings are held on either the first or second Wednesday of the month. The public is invited to attend any Board meeting in person or view the meeting online. These meetings are where the Board considers and acts on rulemaking and policy as well as considers written public testimony on related agenda items. The Board also considers and acts on negotiated compacts and memorandums of agreements with tribal governments.
Beginning with the Apr. 9, 2025, Board meeting, public comment is limited to written comments only. The agenda will be posted on the Friday before the Board meeting, giving the public time to respond and Board members time to review before the meeting occurs.
Board meetings are open to the public and anyone is welcome to attend. The meetings are also broadcast on TVW. While we encourage and welcome participation, during Board meetings, members may engage with staff on related agenda items but do not engage in Q&A with the general public.
Written comments are appreciated and encouraged. Please submit your written comments to LCBBoardMeeting@lcb.wa.gov. We encourage you to submit your comments in advance of the meeting. Comments provided 24 hours before a Board meeting will be distributed and reviewed by each Board member before the meeting and before any action is taken. The comments will then be posted on our website when the minutes of the meeting are approved.
Executive Management Team
The Board meets monthly with the agency’s Executive Management Team for updates and in-depth briefings on operations. These meetings are an opportunity for the Board to engage directly with agency leadership and each division of the LCB. While open to the public for observation, EMT meetings are held with the Board as the intended audience to get updates from staff. The general public does not have opportunity to make comment or testify.
Meeting Participation Guidelines
While the meeting is in progress all attendees are expected to remain in their seat and refrain from side conversation and meeting interruption.
