The Dental Foundation of Oregon is governed by a board of volunteer dentists and public members. Dentist members are elected by the Board of Trustees of the Oregon Dental Association. Many dentist board members are leaders in the profession, providing clinical expertise to make the best use of Foundation resources. Members are generally elected to a three year term. The Dental Foundation of Oregon invests its assets with the Oregon Community Foundation.
