<FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial">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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial">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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial">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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial">The OSFA by-laws emphasize member control and participation, provide for open membership regardless of classification, and focus on service to members.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial">If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call.</FONT><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Times New Roman"> </FONT>
