PORTLAND - The Human Rights Commission seeks to recommend one appointee to serve a partial term beginning in late April, 2014. Due to staggered term appointments, the term ends in October, 2014. City Council confirms all appointments to the Human Rights Commission.

Members are expected to participate in all monthly meetings (or pre-arrange absences) typically held on the first Wednesday of the month. These meetings normally run about three hours.

Commissioners are also asked to participate in at least one sub-committee or special project work. Sub-committee or special projects do require attending additional meeting, and performing tasks, outside of the regular monthly Commission meetings. Additional meetings of the Commission are held as needed to respond to events, conduct hearings and forums, or extend the work of the Commission.

The Commission encourages applications from diverse communities as well as youth and students.

This is a volunteer, unpaid position. Please share this with your networks.
