feedback the agency received from boaters during the agency’s strategic planning process that began in 2010. The committee was charged with developing recommendations on new mission and vision statements that resonate with all boaters and to create an all-inclusive
logo better emulating who the Oregon State Marine Board serves. The Marine Board approved the committee’s recommendations for new mission and vision statements earlier in the year and the agency is now incorporating the language into all digital media materials
and embracing the messages into changes to agency operations. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
