About the board

The Sexual Offense Treatment Board (SOTB) oversees the practices of clinical, secondary, associate, and intern sexual offense therapists in the State of Oregon.

The SOTB consists of seven members appointed by the governor. Of the members appointed to the board:

• Two shall be from a list submitted by the Oregon Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers
• Two shall be from a list submitted by the Oregon Adolescent Sex Offender Treatment Network
• One shall be from a list submitted by the Oregon Association of Community Corrections Directors
• One shall be from a list submitted by the Oregon Juvenile Department Directors Association

The term of office of each member is four years, but a member serves at the pleasure of the governor. Vacancies shall be filled by the governor by appointment for the unexpired term.

If a member serves two consecutive full terms, a period of at least four years must elapse before the individual is again eligible for appointment to serve on the board.

Violations of Oregon Public Meetings Law

There are mandatory prerequisites for submitting Public Meetings Law complaints to the Oregon Government Ethics Commission (OGEC). These prerequisites also apply to executive session complaints. If you fail to satisfy the mandatory prerequisites before filing your complaint with OGEC, the OGEC has stated that it will dismiss your complaint. 

If you are comfortable addressing your public meetings law concern directly with the Health Licensing Office (HLO) instead of filing a formal complaint, then the HLO invites you to do so. However, if this is not possible or if your concerns remain unresolved, the OGEC has the authority to enforce public meetings laws.

The OGEC offers a complaint process to submit alleged violations of Oregon public meetings law. Information about the process and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://www.oregon.gov/ogec/public-records/Pages/Complaints.aspx. 

In accordance with the mandatory prerequisite of filing a written grievance with the public body before filing your complaint with OGEC, you can submit the “Oregon Public Meetings Law – Complaint Form" to Josh Page through one of the following methods: 

1. By email to josh.page@oha.oregon.gov.
2. In person, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on any open business day, Monday through Friday, at the following location:
   Health Licensing Office
   1430 Tandem Ave. NE, Suite 180
   Salem, OR 97301-2192
   
3. Via mail, addressed to the attention of Josh Page at the above HLO address.
