The commission consists of nine members who serve four-year terms and are appointed by the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners.   

Applications are due by noon on Tuesday June 7, 2022. Fill out online application or request one via U.S. mail by calling 503-988-0168 or emailing kevin.c.cook@multco.us.
