Board & Staff

The Oregon Cultural Trust is governed by a 13 member board of directors, comprised of citizens who are committed to the cultural development of Oregon. The 11 citizens appointed by the Governor serve as voting members of the board. The Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate each appoint a member of the Legislative Assembly as non-voting advisory members. The Cultural Trust also has two non-voting special advisers.

The operations of the Oregon Cultural Trust are housed at the Oregon Arts Commission.
