BOARD OF DIRECTORS (EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2024)
OFRI is governed by a board of directors made up of 11 voting members appointed by the state forester, plus two non-voting members.
Voting board members include nine representatives of timber producer classes, with three each from small (Class 1), medium (Class 2) and large (Class 3) producers; one member representing small woodland owners; and one representative for forest industry employees.
Non-voting members required by statute include the dean of the Oregon State University College of Forestry and a public member appointed jointly by the president of the Oregon Senate and the speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives.
An Oregon Department of Forestry liaison assists the board.
Board members appointed by the state forester serve three-year terms and represent the following timber producer classes:
- Class 1: producers of 20 million board feet per year or less
- Class 2: producers of at least 20 million per year, but less than 100 million board feet
- Class 3: producers of 100 million board feet per year or more
- Small woodland owners: forest landowners who own between 100 and 2,000 acres of forestland and who have no direct financial interest in any forest products processing activity
