Do you know an Oregonian who is committed to public service and making the humanities available to audiences across the state? If so, you can now nominate that person for membership on the statewide Board of Directors of Oregon Humanities (formerly Oregon Council for the Humanities).

Please send a letter of nomination that includes the candidate’s name and address; a brief description of why this person should serve on the Oregon Humanities Board of Directors, including his or her experience and interest in the public humanities; and a curriculum vitae or resume to Oregon Humanities, Attn: Nominations Committee, 813 SW Alder Street, Suite 702, Portland, Oregon 97205. Candidates must be nominated by someone other than themselves. Nominees will be notified in writing of the receipt of their materials. Successful candidates will be contacted by the Nominations Committee chair.

Oregon Humanities is looking for nominees who are committed to public service and interested in making the humanities widely available to audiences across the state. Nominees should be supportive of the organization’s mission and principles. Oregon Humanities board members should be willing to advise and support the organization’s work in a number of ways. Board members serve renewable three-year terms and attend three general meetings per year that are held in various locations around the state. The Oregon Humanities board has financial oversight of the organization, takes an active role in fundraising, sets policy, approves new program initiatives, and promotes awareness of the organization.

Oregon Humanities connects Oregonians to ideas that transform communities.
