Oregon
We are the Oregon Federal Executive Board (OFEB). OFEB covers the State of Oregon as well as Southwest Washington (Clark, Cowlitz, Klickitat, Skamania, Pacific, and Wahkiakum counties), and serves over 40,000 federal employees in over 130 agencies including the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
About This FEB
We have several noteworthy federal properties in the OFEB jurisdiction. One is the Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt (EGWW) Federal Building in downtown Portland, which is an 18 story building that is LEED Platinum certified. The EGWW is one of the most energy efficient office buildings in the country and is the home of 16 federal agencies and 1,200 federal employees. The Pioneer Courthouse is a federal courthouse in Portland, Oregon that, with construction beginning in 1869, is the oldest federal building in the Pacific Northwest.
The Oregon FEB is known for its active committees, which are led by agency representatives with interest and equities in these areas. For example, the OFEB Crisis Continuity Coalition (C3) serves its members with timely information and important relationships that support emergency preparedness.

Committees
- OFEB Crisis Continuity Coalition (C3): is a place for federal staff who have an emergency management interest, to collaborate, train, and to share best practices and timely information. One of the main tenets of emergency management is to establish relationships that support emergency preparedness and C3 is a position to do just that.

- Shared Neutrals Program: is a cooperative arrangement between diverse federal and state agencies and local governments (agencies) in the Pacific northwest region. Each member agency makes a reciprocal agreement to submit requests for alternative dispute resolution services and to share resources cooperatively. The SNAP is designed to serve three objectives: 1) Provide agencies with low cost and flexible access to sophisticated dispute resolution services, 2) Provide disputing individuals with accessible, timely, and confidential neutral services, and 3) support a diverse cadre of trained and experienced neutrals (mediators) who mentor less experiences neutrals from other agencies on a collateral duty basis.

- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI): fosters cultural awareness, assists agencies in developing and maintaining a diverse and inclusive work environment, cultivate a the diverse heritage of the government community, and promotes equal opportunity and fair treatment for both current and future public servants in the Oregon and Southwest Washington federal community. The DE&I Council meets bi-monthly to coordinate this broad range of initiatives.
