Apply to Serve on the LOC Board of Directors

LOC is currently soliciting applications for service on the Board of Directors beginning in January 2021.  There are three types of positions open.

1. Treasurer.  There is one position for Treasurer open.  The Treasurer is one of four board officers who serve on the LOC Executive Committee.  Once elected as Treasurer, the office holder serves a four-year term, with each year advancing the person to a higher level of office.  The Treasurer automatically ascends to the position of Vice President in their second year on the board.  The Vice President automatically ascends to President in their third year on the board.  Finally, after completing the year as President, the person becomes the Immediate Past-President (a position that still retains voting privileges).  Application deadline is September 29, 2020.  Apply for the Treasurer position
2. Elected City Official Director Positions(s).  This year, there are three open Elected City Official Director positions.  Elected City Official Directors represent all geographic regions of the state and varied city populations.  The term of office for an Elected City Official Director is three years, with the term beginning on the first board meeting of the new calendar year following the election. Application deadline is September 29, 2020. Apply for an Elected Official Director position
3. Appointed City Official Director Position.  Each year, there is one open Appointed City Official Director position.  The term of office for an Appointed City Official Director is three years.  For the first year of the three-year term, this position will be non-voting. During the second year of the term, the position will be able to vote.  During the third year, the position will not only be able to vote, but will also be a member of the Executive Committee.  The first-year term begins with the first board meeting of the new calendar year following the election.  Appointed City Official Directors represent all geographic regions of the state and varied city populations. Application deadline is September 9, 2020. Apply for an Appointed Official Director position

All applicants for the Treasurer position and Elected Official Director position should note that they will be required to address the Nominating Committee during a publicly noticed meeting scheduled for Wednesday, October 14, 2020.  The Nominating Committee will put forward its recommendation on a slate of candidates it presents to the LOC membership during the Annual Business Meeting on October 14.

Applicants for the Appointed City Official Director position will have their applications reviewed by the Oregon City/County Management Association’s (OCCMA) Board of Directors.  The OCCMA will select who it believes to be the best candidate, forward their recommendation to the LOC Nominating Committee, and the Nominating Committee will put forward the OCCMA’s recommendation on the slate of candidates it presents to the LOC membership during the Annual Business Meeting on October 15. 

Candidates for all three offices should know that the LOC Bylaws allow for nominations from the floor of the Annual Business Meeting.
