Square Dancing is the Official State Dance of Oregon

2024-2025 State Officers

Goodwill Ambassadors

Every year, as their last official duty, the Federation President may name a couple or individual to serve as a Goodwill Ambassador. Goodwill Ambassadors are expected to be energetic and friendly representatives of Oregon, dancing when they travel. They spread information about specific Oregon events, such as the Mid-Winter Festival and Summer Festival. They donate their time and energy for the good of Oregon square and round dancing. They smile a lot.

Each Goodwill Ambassador serves a 2-year term, and can be reappointed when their term expires.

POOFs - Past Officers of the Oregon Federation

All current and past elected officers, appointed officers, and area delegates are automatically POOFs -- Past Officers of the Oregon Federation.

Back when our monthly news magazine, the Oregon Federation News, was a printed publication, the primary purpose of the POOFs was to oversee that publication, since it was a significant expense. The POOFs held two formal meetings each year, one each at the Summer and Mid-Winter Festivals.

Now that the OFN is an online publication, the POOFs no longer exist as a unit.
