The Oregon Chapter of The Wildlife Society is run by a volunteer board, elected by the ORTWS membership. Elections are held each February, and we typically have 6-7 positions to fill each year. As a volunteer-run organization, we are always looking for energetic members who want to be more involved. If you are interested in joining the board, please send an email to ortws@ortws.org or you are welcome to complete the Board nomination form HERE.
In 2021 we also began paying a contracted Administrative Consultant to assume some of the day-to-day operational responsibilities of our chapter, freeing up the board to focus on serving our members.
