Multnomah County, the most populous county in Oregon, is home to 766,135 residents and provides a wide array of services to our diverse communities in an equitable and inclusive way. We aim to foster safety, trust, and belonging for our community through the work, services, and programs we provide. One of the keys to effective government is creating inclusive pathways for our community to impact what we do and inform the County about their priorities and needs. 

The Office of Community Involvement (OCI) was created by voters in Multnomah County in 1984. It is charged with developing and maintaining community involvement programs and policies to facilitate direct communication between the community, department leaders, and the Board of County Commissioners. We are committed to helping inform and involve communities in the processes that shape county policies, budgets, and programs.

OCI staffs and coordinates three civic engagement programs: 

• The Community Involvement Committee (CIC) is composed of up to 15 volunteers who study and advise OCI on county engagement and community involvement matters.

• The Charter Review Committee (CRC),  consists of 16 volunteers representing all four county districts, convened every six years to perform a comprehensive study of the Multnomah County Home Rule Charter. 

• The Community Budget Advisory Committees (CBAC), comprised of 10 groups of community members that analyze and advise department leaders on departmental budget allocations.

As the CBAC Program Coordinator, you will provide essential administrative guidance on policies and procedures, technical assistance, and operational support to department staff assigned to coordinate their respective CBACs. You will spearhead educational and development opportunities for volunteers, leading comprehensive program orientations and onboarding sessions to prepare community members for the CBAC program, county administrative rules, code, and relevant regulations. Additionally, you will provide direct staffing and coordination support to the Non-Departmental and Central CBACs.
