The Sequim Good Governance League (SGGL) is a 501c4 nonprofit, nonpartisan civic organization formed to support and promote good governance in Sequim and the surrounding Sequim-Dungeness Valley area.

The SGGL was instrumental in helping bring good governance back to the Sequim City Council in the 2021 election and in supporting good governance candidates for the Sequim School Board and the Olympic Medical Center’s Board of Commissioners.

As we look to the future, SGGL will continue to serve as a nonpartisan government watchdog, educate the public about good governance, and help ensure that good governance-supporting candidates run and are elected to office in Clallam County.

All residents of the North Olympic Peninsula who support good governance are invited to become a member. Membership is free. To qualify for membership, a prospective member needs to complete and submit this Membership Form and be approved by the SGGL Board of Directors.

Membership in SGGL enables individuals to participate in the election of the Board of Directors, serve as a board member, participate in SGGL Membership Meetings, join the mailing list of SGGL, and help support good governance in our community.

IMPORTANT NOTE: SGGL 501c4 Membership is separate from membership to the SGGL Private Facebook Page.
