The Oregon State Marine Board invites recreational boaters and others interested in the agency’s work, to gather and engage with staff at an Open House on November 6, from 11:30 am to 2 pm. The agency is hosting an Open House to better understand the needs of boaters in Portland and surrounding areas. The Open House is being held at the Oak Lodge Library Community Room, 16201 SE McLoughlin Blvd., in Oak Grove.

The Open House is intended to build relationships with local recreational boaters and hear perspectives on how the agency can improve operations to meet future needs. Staff will be available to answer questions about boating safety, agency policies, plans, regulatory considerations, grants, boating access, revenues and expenditures, safety education, titling and registration, outfitter guides, and the agency’s environmental programs.
