Recognizing Rob Douglas, OSCPA Legislative Counsel

Rob Douglas has tirelessly served as OSCPA's Legislative Counsel since February 1978. Over these many years, Rob helped OSCPA navigate numerous issues of concern to CPAs at the Oregon Legislature. His expertise, insights, and support have profoundly benefited Oregon CPAs and the profession.

Rob has been OSCPA’s guide through various changes in Oregon’s legislative process. From legislative receptions in the early days (which long ago became a relic of the past), to moving from biannual to annual legislative sessions (2011), to helping OSCPA volunteers gain access to speak with legislators on important issues, to advising the OCPA/Legislative Action on fundraising and distribution of funds, Rob has been an invaluable resource.

In addition to his sharing his legislative expertise, Rob has also been a regular speaker at OSCPA events, including the annual OSCPA Professional Issues Update and annual Strategic Leadership Forum. We extend a sincere thank you to Rob for his outstanding service to the Society and wish him a well-deserved retirement!
