LCB honors two long‑serving employees for decades of state service

The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board opened its meeting by recognizing two long‑serving public employees.

Mark Webster was presented for 25 years of state service. A presenter recounted Webster's career path through budget and higher education finance roles and said he was hired in November 2022 as the LCB legislative director. Webster thanked colleagues and reflected on work on policy including a TH C bill and social equity efforts.

Later in the meeting, Spencer Goode, the LCB chief financial officer, introduced Tammy Justice and described her 35‑year career across multiple state agencies including employment security, Department of Health, Department of Transportation, Department of Children, Youth & Families and LCB finance roles. "I'd like to thank Spencer for his support, guidance, and teamwork," Justice said; she credited colleagues and noted the advantage of flexible work schedules during her career. The board and staff congratulated both employees.
