Interested in serving as a member of the PCC Board of Directors?
The Board of Directors is seeking candidates to fill a vacancy on the board in Zone 2 of the PCC District resulting from the recent death of long-time board member Harold Williams. The person selected would serve until June 30, 2013 and could seek election to the position in May 2013. If elected, he or she would serve the remainder of Director Williams' original term, through June 30, 2015.
Candidates must live in Zone 2 and be registered voters in that zone.
PCC Board Members are elected by zones for four year terms. Elections are held in odd numbered years. When a vacancy occurs mid term, the board appoints a replacement to fill out the term until the next election – in this case May, 2013. The selected candidate will serve until June 30, 2013.
You can verify your PCC zone on the Board Zone Map, or by calling the Multnomah County Elections Office at 503-988-3720.
