Delegation of Executive Director Duties & Powers

by Gregory Williams, Esq. | Under Washington State Human Rights Commission (WSHRC) regulations, may the executive director delegate his/her duties and powers? Here’s my point of view (NOTE: please read our DISCLAIMER before proceeding).

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MAY DELEGATE DUTIES & POWERS

WAC 162-04-060 is the relevant regulation, and it states as follows:

Unless a statute or rule provides otherwise, all duties and powers assigned to the executive director may be delegated by the executive director to other staff persons of the commission, with the executive director remaining responsible. The general practice of the commissioners is to assign all staff duties and powers to the executive director, with the understanding that the executive director will allocate and reallocate the tasks among the staff and see that the tasks are performed.

WAC 162-04-060 (emphasis and hyperlink added). Thus, the executive director may delegate his/her duties and powers to other staff persons of the commission. Ultimately, the executive director will remain responsible.
