President
Alicia Burki
I seek to understand how things function; to apply this knowledge into organized action to serve our membership.
I do not have a background in leading or organizing large groups of people, but I can and will continue to do all things with integrity, honesty, and transparency. I expect the same from all our Local Officers, Council E-Board, and WFSE Staff.
I can and will continue to amplify your voice at the table, if you are willing to speak.
I do not have all the answers, but I know how to source credible information and produce results.
I cannot do not this alone and I will be asking for your guidance and involvement.
I do not hold a position of power or status within our agency and I want to demonstrate those things are not necessary to make a difference at our level.
My goal is to be challenged out of this position based on merit by the next election.
Vice President
Miles Carignan
I started working with State Parks in 2006. between now and then I left the job for about 2 years doing other things and can say with confidence that working for Parks is one of the best jobs ever. With that said, I believe our Union is here to ensure WA State Parks continues to be a great place to work.
Treasurer
Mikolaj Miazio
Hi my name is Mik Miazio.
I am Polish by birth and a U.S. Citizen as of 2022. I have been with the Parks, as a west side arborist since 2017. Enrolled with our Union, as a dues paying member upon hire.
A couple of years back I attended my first Shop Stewart meeting, at the region maintenance building and was deeply moved by everyone’s participation.
I Have tried my hand at the presidentship of this very local in 2023 and ultimately that turned out to be too big of job for me. Luckily the baton was promptly picked up by a much more qualified candidate.
After regrouping, I am honored to continue my involvement by stepping into the position of the treasurer and building upon the good work of an esteemed colleague of mine.
I strongly believe in teamwork and each person’s unique talents. Seeing the new era of Union Local 1466 fills me with pride and hope.
Secretary
Ozzy Alicia Bustamante
Ozzy joined Washington State Parks in April of 2024. Ozzy graduated from The Evergreen State College in 2022 with a dual bachelor’s in Prairie Ecology & Environmental Justice (BS) and American History (BA).
Their professional experience varies across fields, they have experience in healthcare, customer service, grounds, custodial, maintenance, and office administration. In their first union represented position at TESC, Ozzy was an active member and a shop steward. Later serving on the policy committee of local 443 and as a delegate at the AFSCME international conference. Below is a statement they’ve included.
“Parks is made up of amazing folks with many different lived experiences, all of whom care deeply for the work they do and the agency they are a part of. In my time as a steward, I’ve learned that working in solidarity across differences is not always easy, but just as we find in our daily work, the thing that seems harder (because it requires care and attention) is often worth doing. Working across differences builds strength, resiliency and compassion in our local, and builds a stronger, more supportive workplace. Fundamentally, I believe that despite the natural differences that exist between us it is our duty to fight for and support one another with integrity and transparency and I will work to do just that as our local's Secretary."

‘Hello everyone!
I am excited to have this opportunity to be on the Executive Board for State Parks for the union! As a Support Professional representative, I will be brining my years of experience at the agency as an AA2 , and most recently, as the Program Coordinator for the Parks Boating Program, as well as almost a decade of experience serving on the Executive Board of Directors for Pizza Klatch (a local non-profit here in Olympia that I served on from 2011 to 2020).
As a former AA2, I have been in a unique position where I have interacted with visitors, our maintenance teams, and our Park Rangers and am happy to lean into this position on the Executive Board to effect change. I believe that you cannot change things unless you are willing to be a part of said change.
Some background on me: I graduated from Central Washington University with a B.S. in Recreation and Tourism Management, and spent a decade living in Central Washington before relocating back to the west side of the state. My entire career has been in recreation; City of Mercer Island Parks and Recreation, Girl Scouts of Western Washington, R.E.I. and now State Parks.
I am excited to get to know you all more and am grateful for this opportunity. Talk to you all soon!’
