Job Description

Board and Commission Member Application About Boards & Commissions The Governor makes appointments to over 250 Boards and Commissions representing a broad range of areas and issues for the State of Oregon. This also includes most major state agencies and departments headed by policy-making boards which are appointed by the Governor. Members of Oregon State Boards and Commissions are vital participants in statewide decision-making and dedicated individuals have the opportunity to participate in developing a wide variety of important governmental policies. Major issues range from consumer protection, economic development, education, conservation, and health care - all of which are critical to the ongoing success of the State of Oregon. The Governor is also committed to ensuring that all Boards and Commissions represent the growing age, racial and gender diversity of the state. This is an amazing opportunity to pool our collective viewpoints, visions, and hopes for Oregon - and all community members are welcome and encouraged to serve. Please note that you must be an Oregon resident and taxpayer to participate unless otherwise noted. Please visit the main State of Oregon Boards and Commissions Website to view additional information that may be helpful in your application process.

You will be notified by a member of the Governor's Office if your application is selected to move forward for further consideration. Important Notes All demographic questions are optional and are elicited in order to ensure that this administration considers the talent and creativity of a diverse pool of candidates. In addition, specific backgrounds or qualifications are legally required for some Boards and Commissions. You may, therefore, wish to provide this information in order to ensure that you are considered for relevant Boards and Commissions. All executive appointment applications are considered public records and subject to the public records law. Should your materials be requested as a public record, the state will make every effort to protect all personal information (i.e., addresses, phone numbers, and narrative information that would be considered an invasion of privacy).
