The projects offered will be centered around Treasurer Read's commitment to decarbonize our investment portfolio by working toward a net-zero carbon emission target by 2050. Earlier this year the Treasurer announced his intention to better prepare for the long-term risks and opportunities that climate change presents to our pension fund investments: a commitment to decarbonize our investment portfolio by working toward a net-zero carbon emission target by 2050. Specifically, he will be focusing his efforts over the next year on working with our team and partners to present a responsible, thoughtful, and practical decarbonization plan to the Oregon Investment Council by February of 2024.

Oregon is looking for its next generation of public finance leaders. Government is a multi-billion-dollar business. To succeed and protect the public good, government needs bold, diverse, and innovative leaders with business acumen and a commitment to service. Quality of life, after all, is directly tied to financial security.

The business of government at Oregon State Treasury includes investment management, debt management, financial services, and management of financial empowerment programs. The Robert W. Straub Fellowships at the Oregon State Treasury offer experience and opportunity in a leading institutional investment fund and government financial hub.
