The commission´s primary functions are marketing and promotion of Oregon Salmon, and the commitment to a sustainable industry for generations to come. The Oregon Department of Agriculture appoints nine commissioners from the industry to oversee the commission´s activities. The Oregon commercial salmon industry is made up of fishermen and women—many of them third and fourth generation boat owners—who operate small, independent businesses.

The OAC's primary activities include marketing & promotion, information dissemination, consumer education and research. The Commission exhibits at major seafood and food industry trade shows under the Seafood OREGON umbrella with the state's three other seafood commodity commissions. The OAC produces marketing materials, furnishes 'supplier contacts' and in general, works to enhance the use and consumption of 'troll caught' Albacore.

What started as a dream for two ordinary brothers who just loved beer has now become a reality for two ordinary brothers who still just love beer. Kurt and Rob Widmer helped lead the Pacific Northwest craft beer movement in 1984 when, in their twenties, they dreamed of brewing American interpretations of authentic European style beers. In 1986, Widmer Brothers Brewing introduced the first American-style Hefeweizen; today, the unfiltered cloudy beer is the company’s signature brew and one of the best selling wheat beers in the country. Based in Portland, Ore., the brewery currently produces a variety of European- and American-style beers including Drifter Pale Ale, Drop Top Amber Ale and Deadlift Imperial IPA.
