ABOUT OSWILG

The Oregon and Southwest Washington Industry Liaison Group (OSWILG) is a non-profit organization formed in 2003 by a group of federal contractors and other interested parties.

What We Do:

OSWILG serves as an extension of the National Industry Liaison Group (NILG).

Its purpose is to strengthen relationships among federal contractors, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) by fostering open communication between the groups.

OSWILG will engage in activities consistent with this purpose, with the prevailing goal of working towards equality in the workplace.

Annual Scholarship:

The OSWILG Board annually awards the Harry S. Chandler Memorial Scholarship to deserving graduating seniors.  The scholarships are in the amount of $1,000 each and awarded in memory of OSWILG’s founding member, Harry Chandler.  Students throughout Oregon and SW Washington apply for the scholarship each year.  The scholarships are awarded based on a combination of community involvement, academic achievement, financial need and an essay addressing how diversity impacts the life of the student.
