Commissioners
The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Act established the Gorge Commission to "achieve the purposes of this Act and to facilitate cooperation among the States of Oregon and Washington, and with the United States of America..."
Thirteen Gorge Commissioners are appointed by state governors and county commissions with one representative appointed by each of the six counties, three members appointed by each governor, and one ex officio, non-voting member who is an employee of the USDA Forest Service, appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture. County representatives must be residents of their respective counties, and at least one of the three gubernatorial appointees from each state must live in the Scenic Area. Commissioners serve four-year terms. They receive reimbursement for travel expenses and a per meeting compensation. The Chair of the Gorge Commission is selected by a majority vote of the members of the Commission.
Thank you for your interest in contacting the Gorge Commission. We take your comments seriously and consider your message in our deliberations. The Commission relies on multiple sources of information to identify and evaluate issues that come before us. Your participation in this process of naming issues and proposing possible solutions is very important. We will retain comments for the permanent record of any issue. All individually written remarks will receive a response from us, but we cannot guarantee that with form letters or remarks. Once an issue, concern, or potential solution has been recorded it comes to the Commissioners’ attention. Multiple communications of the same message do not add to the database of knowledge.
If you would like to include all the Commissioners in your comments, please send your email to info@gorgecommission.org for distribution. Thank you again for taking the time to write us.
