Do you have a background in tourism and recreation, business and industry or a field that represents the unemployed or underemployed? The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners has opened recruitments to fill open seats on the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC) Board that represent these industries.
 
Applicants must:

The COIC Board is currently implementing the transportation system in the tri-county area, advocating for market-rate housing and administering an alternative high school program, among other projects.
 
The Board consists of twelve elected members who serve as representatives from each of COIC's member governments: the counties of Crook, Deschutes, and Jefferson, and the cities of Bend, Culver, Madras, Metolius, Prineville, Redmond, La Pine, Sisters and Confederate Tribes of Warm Springs along with five appointed members.
