The Chair’s office at Multnomah County is seeking applicants to be on the oversight committee for the recently passed levy. This would be a great way to contribute to the future of OHS by ensuring the greatest accountability to the citizens of Multnomah County.

=====================

On November 2^nd, MultnomahCounty voters approved a five-year levy to support the Oregon Historical Society. Part of the accountability built into the measure is the creation of an independent citizen’s oversight committee charged with reviewing all levy expenditures to ensure they are used for their intended purpose. The committee will meet twice annually and will represent MultnomahCounty’s diverse communities.

Qualified candidates should have a working understanding of budgeting process and a strong commitment to accountability.
