The Jazz Society of Oregon is an all volunteer organization with a working Board of Directors. As we work on projects that lead toward accomplishing our overall goals, a coordinating Director notifies each committee of tasks needed to complete the project.
If you have an interest in helping on any committee, please contact the Director listed for that committee. When a task needs to be done by the committee, you will be contacted to see if you are able to help at that time.

The Marketing, Events and Development Committee is the group that seeks sponsors, donations and grants to further the work of the society. Members of this committee also are the folks who sell the merchandise at festivals, publicize the organization, and bring in new members at the events. They do a lot of work all year long, and many are needed to share in the fun.
