About the Oregon State Fiscal Association ...
The Oregon State Fiscal Association (OSFA) was formed late in 1988 to
promote employee professionalism and encourage professional development
among state employees. This statewide, non-profit organization is
composed of fiscal employees from all levels of the state's work force.
Over the past years, OSFA continued its initial programs and has met its
initial goals and purposes of fostering competence, productivity, and
professionalism of finance professionals in Oregon state government.
The vision of OSFA is to help members grow professionally, help members
make state government function better, and provide a forum for the
social interaction of state employees with similar professional
interests.
The OSFA by-laws emphasize member control and participation, provide for
open membership regardless of classification, and focus on service to
members.
If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call. 
We look forward to hearing from you.
