Employment Security Advisory Committee (ESAC)

The committee has disbanded because ESD’s Unemployment Insurance Advisory Committee has taken its place. The last ESAC meeting was in October 2021.

 

ESAC was formed in August 2013 in collaboration with Washington Governor Jay Inslee’s office. The committee’s goal was to help ESD implement our new strategy and goals and to help us stay aligned with Governor Inslee’s Results Washington.

The committee focused on Washington's employment system as a whole, including:

  • Workforce and career development
  • Unemployment insurance (UI)
  • UI-related programs that lead to a thriving economy, quality jobs, and expanded career opportunities for all Washingtonians.
