Beginning in October, Chelan County Commissioner Kevin Overbay will serve as the vice president and president-elect of the Washington Counties Risk Pool, which supports its member counties with risk management programs.

Overbay was elected by his peers on July 21 at the WCRP’s Board of Directors meeting. Overbay currently represents Chelan County on the board and is also a member of the WCRP Executive Committee, which provides oversight to the organization.

He will serve as vice president from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30, 2024, and then as president Oct. 1, 2024, to Sept. 30, 2025, if re-elected to the Chelan County Commission in 2024.

“I look forward to expanding my role as Chelan County’s representative with the Risk Pool,” Commissioner Overbay said. “We as counties face greater challenges today than we did even four years ago. I hope to draw from my experiences as former law enforcement officer and commissioner serving the citizens of Chelan County to ensure WCRP is in the best position to face those challenges not only today, but well into the future.”  

Established in 1988 and representing 25 of Washington’s 39 counties, the WCRP was “created by counties for counties” to provide its member counties programs of joint self-insurance, joint purchasing of insurance and joint contracting for or hiring of personnel to provide risk management, claims handling, and administrative services.

The WCRP is governed by its Board of Directors, which is comprised of one director representing each of the member counties. Overbay has been a director on the board since January 2019 and a member of the 11-member Executive Committee since June 2022. On the Chelan County Board of County Commissioners, he represents District 1.

WCRP committee members review any claims made against the WCRP or its members. They also work with the Washington State Association of Counties and the Washington Association of County officials in considering statutory and regulatory issues impacting the counties.
