Boards and Commissions
The State Treasurer, appointed citizens and State Treasury officials help set
the direction for Oregon bonding, banking and public investments by sharing
their expertise on a variety of boards and commissions.
The Treasurer serves on the State Land Board, Oregon Investment Council,
and the Oregon 529 College Savings Board, to name just a few. As a result
of legislation passed in 2009, the Treasurer or a designee also sits on the
State Board of Education.
The Treasury nominates public members to serve on state boards, and those
names are forwarded to the governor, who makes the formal appointments,
subject to legislative ratification.
