Commission Members
The OGEC has seven volunteer members. Four members are appointed by the governor upon recommendation by the Democratic and Republican leaders of the Oregon House and Senate. The governor selects three members directly. All members must be confirmed by the Senate. No more than four of the members may be from the same political party. The law allows members to serve only one four-year term.

Commission Staff
 
The OGEC is administered by an executive director selected by the commissioners. The commission also employs two investigators, two trainers, a program analyst, and two office support staff who are appointed by the executive director.
 
OGEC staffers are available for informal questions and discussions about statutes, administrative rules and the commission’s process. Public officials are encouraged to meet with OGEC staff at any time.
 
The OGEC members and staff consider that they are doing their job most successfully if they can help public officials avoid conduct that violates the government ethics statutes. They encourage people to inquire into any point of the statutes prior to taking any action that may violate ORS 244.
