The Governing Board of the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) will meet via teleconference at 9 a.m. on Thursday, September 24. The meeting agenda is available at www.oregongeology.org. The public may listen to the meeting in person at DOGAMI’s Portland offices, 800 NE Oregon St., Ste. 965, Portland. The DOGAMI Governing Board sets policy and oversees general operations, and adopts a strategic plan every six years to guide DOGAMI’s mission and objectives. The Board meets at least quarterly at sites around the state. As active members of their communities, Board members provide an important connection between Oregonians and DOGAMI’s mission of providing earth science information and regulation to make Oregon safe and prosperous.
