| About the Commissioners |

The five citizen commissioners set policy for the OLCC. They meet monthly for one or two days to make decisions including liquor licenses, rules, contested case hearings, and appointments of liquor store agents.
Commissioners are appointed by the governor to four-year terms, subject to senate confirmation, each representing a state congressional district, with one from the food and beverage industry. Commissioners appoint the agency's executive director, who oversees the agency's 211 employees.
