The Electronic Application is a basic application that tells our office about you, your background, and why you want to serve on the Council. You will need to include your resume, a short personal biography, and answers to supplemental questions. Only complete applications will be considered. 

A complete application consists of:

• Contact Information

• Qualifications

• Application Questions

• Demographic Information (Optional)

• Uploaded Resume (PDF only)

• Upload Employer Statement of Support (Attestation)

• Upload Education Organization Statement of Support (Optional)

If you are unable to complete the form electronically, please reach out to the EAC office at ODE.EACDirectors@ode.oregon.gov for assistance. 

You may apply at any time, regardless of whether there is a current opening, as resignations occur throughout the year. If you are being actively considered for an appointment, you will hear from the EAC office staff.

Important Notes About the Application Process

• All demographic questions are optional and are elicited in order to ensure consideration of the talent and creativity of a diverse pool of candidates.
