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.
Application Process
If you are a current State of Oregon employee or a current Board Member with an OR number, you must apply through your employee Workday account.
Only completed applications will be considered for appointment. The online application will take you through the following steps to submit your interest for a statewide Board or Commission:
Contact Information
Short Personal Biography
Supplemental Questions
Demographic Questions
Resume (upload PDF)
Background Check Questions*
Voluntary Disclosures
Additional Task**
*All applicants are subject to a criminal history and revenue check. Additional vetting may apply for some board positions. Notifying us about something in your past does not necessarily mean that you can’t or won’t be appointed, but it is important that you disclose this information in the beginning of the process to minimize delays.
**The State of Oregon requires Board and Commission member applicants to supply their social security number for the purpose of background checks, and for those members appointed, to be put in the state's HR/Payroll system. You will receive a task immediately following the submission of your application. Please complete the task with valid information to finish the application process.
Submitting the Application
If at any time you close your browser window prior to submitting your application, the application will be saved as a draft; however, you may lose some information entered on the application. Once you submit your application, you will not be able to edit the information you provided. If changes need to be made to your submitted application, you may withdraw your application and submit a new one.
If you are unable to complete the application online, please contact the Executive Appointments Office at executive.appointments@oregon.gov.
You may submit an application at any time, regardless of whether there is a current opening, as resignations may occur throughout the year. The timeline for appointment to a Board or Commission varies greatly. 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).
