Coalition Members

Apply to join the board

We are currently recruiting in fall/winter 2025.

The Multnomah County Cultural Coalition (MCCC) is led by an all-volunteer board representing some of the many threads that weave Multnomah County together. 

MCCC invites Multnomah County residents to apply to serve as Coalition board members, particularly those with experience in arts and culture as practitioners. Applications are reviewed by the current board. Each board member serves up to two three-year terms and participates in our grants panel at least once during each term. MCCC encourages applications from all corners of the community. To be eligible, you must be a resident of Multnomah County. Learn more about about serving on the MCCC board.

Fill out our questionnaire for consideration and reach out to us  at info@multcoculturalcoalition.org with any questions. We look forward to hearing from you!
