100 Years of Leaders Who Mean Business.
Since 1926, the Oregon Executives Association has been Portland’s most enduring executive networking organization — built not on casual connections, but on the kind of deep, trust-based relationships that move businesses forward. We’ve grown and evolved alongside Portland’s business community for a century, and the best is still ahead.
OEA members are business owners and senior decision-makers from some of the region’s most respected companies. Every week, they gather for energetic luncheon meetings at the Moda Center — exchanging referrals, sharing insights, and doing real business with people they know and trust. Add in networking socials, special events, and a centennial celebration year, and membership means there’s always something worth showing up for.
As part of the International Executives Association, OEA members also tap into a network of more than 6,000 member firms across the United States and Canada — extending opportunity well beyond Portland city limits.

Membership by Invitation. Earned by Excellence.
Joining OEA isn’t automatic — and that’s the point. Prospective members go through a thoughtful screening process that includes an on-site visit and a board interview. We’re looking for business owners and senior leaders who share our commitment to professionalism, integrity, and doing business the right way.
When a company earns membership, it’s a genuine distinction. It means they’ve been recognized by their peers as one of Portland’s high-caliber businesses — and welcomed into a community that will show up for them.
