Renton City Council President Ed Prince has been elected to the Sound Cities Association (SCA) board of director and will chair the public issues committee (PIC) for the organization, which represents 38 King County cities and provides a regional voice for nearly one million people.

“The SCA PIC reviews and evaluates all of our policy positions and recommends to the Board what action should be taken,” said Deanna Dawson, SCA executive director. “We are very fortunate to have council member chair this important committee. His leadership, consensus building skills and dedication will contribute immensely to addressing the challenges and opportunities that our communities face throughout King County.”

SCA provides regional leadership in areas such as economic and community development, transportation, land use, health, government operations, the environment, education, public safety, social welfare and other public policy issues.

Prince was elected to the City Council in 2011. During his time on council, he has served on several regional boards and committees including: Association of Washington Cities (AWC) legislative committee, regional transit committee, regional water quality committee, growth management planning council and AWC state and federal policy committee.

He currently serves as the executive director of the Washington state Commission on African American Affairs and previously worked for the Washington state House of Representatives.

SCA provides regional leadership in areas such as economic and community development, transportation, land use, health, government operations, the environment, education, public safety, social welfare and other public policy issues.

SCA, which was formerly known as the Suburban Cities Association, was established more than 40 years ago to help King County cities act locally and partner regionally to create vital and thriving communities through advocacy, education, leadership, mutual support and networking.
