As part of its three-step recruitment process, the Oregon Environmental Quality Commission is soliciting input on the requirements and criteria that will be posted as part of the recruitment for DEQ’s permanent director. DEQ issued a news release on April 13 to open the comment period, and launched a short online survey for your input.

The commission will accept comments through this online system until noon on Tuesday, April 19, followed by a special opportunity to accept verbal comments on the draft requirements the evening of April 20. That session is from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in room E141/142 at the Oregon Convention Center, 777 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Portland. The commission is expected to take action on the recruitment language, and many other agenda items, at its April 20-21, 2016, regular meeting.  An agenda for that meeting is available now.
