About Us

You’re in good company.

Established in 1926, Oregon Executives Association is one of the state’s oldest and most successful Portland business networking and support groups. Rich in tradition and proven over time, the association continues to thrive after almost 100 years. A lively luncheon meeting is held at the Moda Center every Wednesday, and members become part of a close-knit organization focused on increasing member business opportunities and connections throughout the community.

OEA members are owners or decision-makers of companies with solid reputations for providing quality services and goods. Their business integrity is a credit to the Association and the community. They represent the kinds of companies with whom you would like to do business.

OEA is a member of the International Executives Association, with more than 6,000 member firms in the United States and Canada.

Welcoming

Only one business in any profession is allowed, so competition between members is avoided. Once a member secures a position in OEA, as long as it is properly maintained, that business category is no longer open to any of its competitors. Some categories have been secured for more than 25 years.

What they’re saying...

Earle Wickland, Principal Broker/President | Wicklund & Associates, Llc

I have been a member of the Oregon Executives Association (OEA) for 15 years. Its members prove to be the best within their respective industries. Should you want or need advice or access to experts who will benefit your company’s profitability, then call OEA. OEA celebrates its 100-year anniversary in 2026.

Ryan Graven, Matrix Networks

Matrix has been a member of the Oregon Executives Association since 2013. In that time, Matrix has onboarded several new clients that are current or former OEA members. More importantly, the group is a great resource to grow your professional network and learn from the experiences of business professionals in PDX. Thank you OEA!

Quality Businesses

Membership in the Oregon Executives Association networking organization is not automatic, even when a category may be available. To maintain a high level of integrity, an interview and screening process that includes an on-site visit and board interview must be conducted prior to acceptance. Potential members are asked to join because we believe all of us would benefit.

Once a business is voted into membership, the owner can be proud that their company is one of a select number of firms recognized for quality and lofty standards.

Business owners and managers who have an interest in learning more about the Oregon Executives Association may attend a luncheon meeting as a guest of the organization. Please email Jocelyn Jester at info@oregonexecutives.com, for more information and to attend a luncheon.
