Oregon Women for Agriculture is built on the dedication, passion, and leadership of women who care deeply about agriculture and our mission to communicate the story of today’s agriculture. As we look ahead to 2026, several leadership positions are opening and we’re looking for members who are ready to make an impact!
Serving in an OWA leadership role is an incredible opportunity to connect with members across the state, help shape our organization’s future, and ensure agriculture continues to have a strong, unified voice in Oregon.
Open Positions
First Vice President (Two-Year Term, 2026–2028)
The First Vice President supports the President and may preside in her absence. This role often includes serving as program chair for special events such as the annual auction—unless a dedicated chairperson is appointed. It’s an ideal position for someone who enjoys planning, teamwork, and helping bring OWA’s signature event to life. This position succeeds to President following the 2 year term.
Second Vice President (One-Year Term, 2026)
The Second Vice President assists both the President and First Vice President in representing OWA statewide. As a member of the executive committee, this leader attends all meetings and has the opportunity to learn and grow as a leader. This position does not succeed to any leadership positions.
Corresponding Secretary (Two-Year Term, 2026-2028)
The Corresponding Secretary manages OWA’s communications and outreach, helping share our story and mission with members and the public. This includes handling official correspondence, overseeing social media and website updates, and ensuring OWA’s message reflects our values and priorities. It’s a great fit for someone who enjoys writing, organization, and connecting with others through communication.
Membership Secretary (Two-Year Term, 2026-2028)
The Membership Secretary manages OWA’s membership roster, serving as the primary point of contact for new members and annual renewals. This role includes maintaining accurate contact information, managing the membership database, and supporting efforts to grow and retain OWA’s membership statewide. It’s an excellent role for someone who is organized, detail-oriented, and enjoys helping members feel welcomed and connected.
Why Get Involved?
Leadership in OWA isn’t just about titles—it’s about connection, advocacy, and impact. You’ll gain valuable experience, help guide our programs and outreach, and strengthen Oregon agriculture for generations to come.
Interested?
If you or someone you know is interested in serving, please reach out to President Sarah Puls. Nominations will be open through March 6, 2026 and elections will take place at the March 7, 2026 Annual Business Meeting during the OWA Annual State Convention.
Together, we grow stronger. Step into leadership and help shape the future of Oregon Women for Agriculture.
