Communications
Communications Subcommittee
Our Goal
To serve as an information source for ICSEW members, perspective ICSEW members and state employees. To communicate information about ICSEW initiatives and activities to ICSEW members and share information from other state agencies and organizations that align with ICSEW’s mission and values.
What We Do
We use our communications platforms to promote ICSEW events and initiatives, share news from the Governor’s office about policies and initiatives that impact state employed women.
The communications subcommittee executes these goals through timely updates to ICSEW’s website, articles shared on ICSEW’s blog, InterAct, and social media posts, and bulletins to subscribers on our GovDelivery list. The communications subcommittee also helps coordinate communication technology during virtual meetings.
Our Leadership
Communications Chair | TJ Canfield
PHR, Utilities and Trans. Commission
I currently work for the Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) as a Human Resource (HR) Business Partner. Previously, I served on HR teams for the Departments of Commerce and Licensing. With 20+ years of human resource experience, I have a true passion for making the lives of individuals better in everything I try to do.
I have been a part of ICSEW for two plus years. I began my time with ICSEW as a member of the annual conference’s subcommittee focusing on media relations, ensuring that there was an active presence on social platforms pertaining to the conference. Since then, I have joined the Communications subcommittee and am currently the chair.
I live in Eastern Washington, (Richland), with my husband and our three fur babies: two yorkies and one shorkie! My newfound love is everything sourdough! Maybe we could bake together someday?
