The Oregon National Guard has promoted Brig. Gen. Julie
A. Bentz to the rank of major general, the first female to hold
such a high-ranking position.
Bentz works as the director of Strategic Capabilities Policy
with the National Security Council in Washington, D.C. She
will become Direc­
tor of Nuclear De­
fense Policy at the
agency with her
promotion.
"It is a remark­
able
p erso n al
achievement and
one that we cel­
ebrate here in Or­
egon," said Gov.
John Kitzhaber.
Bentz began her
military career with Julie A. Bentz
an ROTC commis­
sion from Oregon State University in June 1986 and served
in a variety of active, reserve and National Guard assign­
ments revolving around nuclear defense, homeland security,
health physics, environmental sciences and traditional
nuclear, biological and chemical officer assignments.
"We couldn't be more proud of her or her accomplish­
ments," said Maj. Gen. Raymond F. Rees, The Adjutant
General, Oregon. "Bentz's selection to major general high­
lights the significance of Oregon's education and leadership
programs. We are proud to have been a part of her already
amazing career."
In addition to her bachelor's degree from Oregon State
University in Radiological Health, Bentz holds a master's
degree and a doctorate in nuclear engineering from the
University of Missouri-Columbia. She is also a graduate of
the National W ar College with a master's in national security
strategy.
Classes begin Septem ber 23.

Individuals looking for temporary employment can find
several possibilities at this year's Oregon State Fair which
runs from Aug. 23 to Sept. 2 in Salem.
Employers are looking for job seekers ages 16 and over to
work their food concession booths, game and ride operators
for the carnival, exhibitor and demonstration booths and
more. Most jobs need little or no experience.
WorkSource Oregon Employment Department has an
online website to offer assistance in the application process.
In years past, WorkSource staffed a temporary office at the
State Fairgrounds to handle job applications. However, new
technology has removed the need to stand in long lines for
a job referral.
