Supported by more than 150 annual members, the non-profit organization works relentlessly to enhance the state’s economy and quality of life through sports.
The Oregon Sports Authority’s major achievements include landing the 2009 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, Davis Cup World Final, U.S. Figure Skating Championships, Women’s World Cup Soccer and the Dew Tour.
