The Washington Self-Insurers Association (WSIA) is a professional organization dedicated to representing and supporting self-insured employers in Washington State. Established in July 1972 by 52 firms following the enactment of state legislation authorizing self-insurance for workers’ compensation, WSIA has grown to encompass approximately 390 self-insured employers.
WSIA serves as an advocate for its members in the state legislature and with the Department of Labor & Industries, promoting fair and swift adjudication by the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals. The association offers comprehensive training and education on workers’ compensation law, workplace safety, and accident prevention, ensuring members are well-informed and compliant with current regulations.
Governance within WSIA is provided by an elected Board of Directors, comprising six current officers, the immediate past president, six regional directors representing employer members, and a service company representative appointed by the president. The board also includes members who serve as WSIA’s self-insured representatives on the Workers’ Compensation Advisory Committee and the Liaison Committee to the Department of Labor & Industries.
In 1994, WSIA established the Washington Self-Insurers Legislative Fund, a Political Action Committee (PAC) aimed at supporting individuals and groups committed to promoting sound and conservative self-insurance policies for workers’ compensation.
Through its advocacy, educational initiatives, and commitment to fair adjudication, WSIA plays a crucial role in supporting self-insured employers in Washington State, ensuring they are equipped to manage their workers’ compensation responsibilities effectively.
