WMBE Advisory Committee

The City of Seattle is seeking members for the Women and Minority Business Enterprise (WMBE) Advisory Committee.

The Committee advises the City on ways to expand contracting access for women‑ and minority‑owned businesses.

We’re looking for applicants with industry experience, diverse perspectives, and a commitment to supporting Seattle’s business community.

Individuals from construction, professional services, suppliers, small businesses, community organizations, and business development fields are encouraged to apply.

The WMBE Advisory Committee provides guidance to the City of Seattle regarding practices in support of equity, inclusion and participation of women‐ and minority‐owned businesses (WMBEs) in City of Seattle contracts. The WMBE‐AC will review and recommend changes to the City's WMBE program and will provide advice to the City on WMBE issues and concerns.

The WMBE Advisory Committee was re-affirmed through Executive Order 2019-06 and is staffed by the Department of Finance and Administrative Services.
