Oregon Latinos in Local Government Opens 2025 Membership Drive
Oregon Latinos in Local Government (OLLG) is a membership organization focused on:
- Supporting Latine professionals in local government.
- Promoting cultural awareness among local government employees who serve communities with a significant Latine population.
- Increasing public participation in local government within the Latine community.
Member Benefits
In 2025, OLLG will host six Café con Leche virtual meetings and two in-person professional development training sessions. The Café con Leche sessions are free to all OLLG members, and members will also receive a reduced rate to attend in-person events.
Group Membership
Government organizations include cities, counties, port districts, regional government organizations and local utility districts. You pay the following membership rates according to the population size served:
1,000 or fewer: $75
1,001 to 5,000: $100
5,001 to 20,000: $175
20,001 to 50,000: $250
50,0001 to 100,000: $325

Another benefit of membership is the OLLG listserv. During the year, OLLG members can stay connected and ask fellow members questions on the listserv. There are four different membership categories:
- Group - Local government employees whose employers join Oregon Latinos in Local Government as paying members are automatically eligible for membership at no additional cost. This means all employees’ membership dues are covered under this category. Membership dues are based on population size and range from $75 to $500.
- Associate - Local government employees whose employers have not joined Oregon Latinos in Local Government may join as individual members for $75 per year.
- Partner - Nonprofit organizations that serve Latino populations and work closely with local government organizations may join as partner members. These organizations may include community-based organizations and chambers of commerce. Membership dues range from $250 up to $750.
- Student - Those enrolled in an accredited community college or university working towards a degree are eligible to become student members of Oregon Latinos in Local Government at no cost.
Signing up for OLLG
Authorized employees should visit: www.oregonlatinosinlocalgovernment.org/join, select the membership category you would like to join and fill out the online form. Once completed, hit the “Request to join" button. The form will automatically go to LOC staff, who will then send an invoice to the organization’s primary contact to collect membership dues. Once the dues are collected, LOC staff will send the primary contact additional information. For group memberships, LOC staff will include sample information to send employees encouraging them to become a member of OLLG.
