OSB Board of Governors
The Board of Governors governs the Bar, determines the general policies of the Bar and approves its budget each year. The Executive Director, appointed by and acting under the supervision of the Board, implements, administers and supervises the Bar’s operation and program activities.
The Oregon State Bar is governed by a Board of Governors consisting of twelve lawyers elected from six regions and four public members appointed by the board.
