Governor Kotek Submits List of Appointments for Senate Confirmation

Today, Governor Tina Kotek submitted a list of state board and commission appointments and reappointments to the Oregon Senate for confirmation. The Senate Committee on Rules will consider the nominations in early February.

“When I make and review appointments, I name those who carry out their task with the same accountability, transparency, and good governance that I consider as paramount in everything we do for Oregonians,” Governor Kotek said. “I want to thank each nominee and every individual who has been involved in the decision-making process on a variety of issues that our state faces today.”

The full list of nominees is available here.

The Governor makes appointments to over 265 Boards and Commissions representing a broad range of areas and issues. This includes most major state agencies and departments headed by policy-making boards. There are additional application opportunities within existing boards and commissions. More information on Oregon’s board and commissions and resources for interested applicants can be found here.

The Governor is committed to ensuring that all Boards and Commissions represent the age, racial, gender and geographic diversity of the state. This is an amazing opportunity to pool our collective viewpoints, visions, and hopes for Oregon — and all residents are welcome and encouraged to serve.
