Present Duties

The Oregon Advocacy Commissions Office (OACO) was created in 2005 to support the work of the Commissions on Asian, Black, and Hispanic Affairs and the Commission for Women, which serve as the liaisons between these groups of citizens and government entities. The OACO provides administrative support to the commissions as they strive to establish economic, social, legal and political equality for minorities and women in Oregon.

 

The OACO assists the commissions in monitoring existing programs and legislation designed to meet the needs of women and minority populations and helps research issues affecting women and minority communities. The OACO works with the commissions to identify programs, projects and activities the OACO will undertake regarding those issues.
