Do the public, and yourself, good by serving on a state board
board meeting with Governor Kulongoski
State agencies such as the Oregon Health Licensing Agency (OHLA) rely on volunteer citizen board and council members to provide profession-specific expertise and a public or consumer perspective. Contribute to policy-making, regulation, advisory and advocacy efforts while enlarging your professional network, getting an inside look at how government works, and honing your leadership skills.

Governor Kulongoski's Office of Executive Appointments makes appointments to more than 200 state boards. Currently, OHLA has openings on several of its boards and councils. The Governor's Office continually recruits qualified applicants to fill these and many other vacancies.
