The direct involvement of bankers in OBA peer groups is essential to our success as an association. Currently, over 400 Oregon bankers volunteer their time, energy and expertise to serve on our standing membership committees and roundtables. We rely on these members to help us establish priorities for:

• Federal & State Government Relations
• Educational Programs
• Products & Services
• Consumer Education & Community Outreach

The OBA committee and roundtable experience is designed to benefit the individual participants, the institutions they represent, and the industry as a whole.  Participation gives bankers a chance to discuss current issues within the financial services industry, learn from guest presenters, and share and request information through surveys and listservs.

OBA Membership Committees

Committee terms of service are two years. Any employee of an OBA member bank is eligible to participate as an OBA committee member with their bank's approval.  For more information, contact OBA's Manager of Member Engagement Jennifer Schubert at (503) 576-4126 or jschubert@oregonbankers.com .

OBA Roundtables

In addition to OBA committees, OBA also has standing roundtable groups.  Similar to OBA committee meetings, roundtable events provide valuable forums for peer networking and education but without the more formal bank-approved membership structure.  Roundtable events are open to all OBA member bankers.
