PROXY STATEMENT
OF
OREGON PACIFIC BANCORP
1355 Highway 101
Florence, Oregon 97439

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
April 26, 2007

This Proxy Statement is furnished by the Board of Directors (“Board”) of Oregon Pacific Bancorp (the “Company”), an Oregon Corporation and financial holding company, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Company Board of Directors for use at the Company’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2007 Annual Meeting”), to be held at 7:00 p.m. Pacific Time on April 26, 2007 at the Oregon Pacific Bank’s (the “Bank”) principal executive offices, 1355 Highway 101, Florence, Oregon 97439. This Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card are first being mailed to Company shareholders on or about March 29, 2007. The Company’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders is being mailed to Company shareholders with this Proxy Statement.

Summary of Proposals

At the meeting, shareholders will vote to elect four persons to the Board of Directors to serve until the annual meeting of shareholders in 2010. The Board of Directors has nominated Thomas K. Grove, Robert R. King, Jon Thompson, and James P. Clark (“Nominees”) to serve for three-year terms beginning on April 26, 2007. Mssers. Grove, King, and Thompson are current board members. Mr. Clark was promoted to serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank effective January 1, 2007 and chosen to serve on both boards at that time. The Board unanimously recommends voting for all of the Nominees. For more information about the Nominees and related information pertinent to the election of directors, please refer to the information set forth in Proposal No. 1.

VOTING AT THE MEETING

Who May Vote

The only class of issued and outstanding stock of the Company is its common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”). Only holders of record of the Common Stock at the close of business on March 9, 2007 will be entitled to vote at the 2007 Annual Meeting.

Quorum and Voting

Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote at the 2007 Annual Meeting. Under Oregon law, action may be taken on a matter submitted to shareholders only if a quorum exists with respect to that matter. A majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the 2007 Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy will constitute a quorum for the 2007 Annual Meeting.

Holders of shares of Common Stock are not entitled to cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. A nominee for election to the Board of Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote at the 2007 Annual Meeting. In the election of directors, any action other than a vote for a nominee will have the practical effect of voting against the nominee. Abstentions and other non--votes (including broker non-votes) are counted in determining whether a quorum exists at the 2007 Annual Meeting, but are not counted in determining whether a proposal is approved or in determining whether a plurality exists with respect to a given nominee. Proxies and ballots will be received and tabulated by an employee of the Bank on behalf of the Company’s transfer agent, Registrar and Trust Services.

Revocability of Proxies

A proxy delivered pursuant to this solicitation is revocable at the option of the person giving the proxy, at any time before it is exercised, by delivering to the Secretary of the Company a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy card bearing a later date, or by attending the 2007 Annual Meeting and electing to vote in person. Attendance at the 2007 Annual Meeting, in and of itself, will not constitute revocation of a proxy. If no directions are specified, the shares will be voted (i) "FOR" the election of the directors to a three-year term recommended by the Board of Directors, and (ii) in accordance with the discretion of the named proxies, on other matters properly brought before the 2007 Annual Meeting.

Solicitation of Proxies

The accompanying proxy is solicited by and on behalf of the Board of Directors, and the cost of preparing, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement and the proxy solicited hereby will be borne by the Company. In addition to use of the mails, proxies may be solicited by directors, officers and other employees of the Bank, without additional remuneration, in person or by telephone or facsimile transmission. The Company will also ask brokerage firms, bank nominees, custodians and fiduciaries to forward proxy materials to beneficial owners of the Common Stock as of the record date and will reimburse them for the cost of forwarding the proxy materials in accordance with customary practice. Your cooperation in promptly completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card will help avoid additional expense.

Director and Executive Officer Stock Ownership

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 10,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value. As of March 9, 2007 there were approximately 2,191,035 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. As of March 1, 2007, directors and executive officers, together with their affiliates, had beneficial ownership of 429,124 common shares.

BUSINESS OF THE MEETING
 
Proposal ONE: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
 
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorize a Board of no less than seven (7) and no more than fifteen (15) directors who are divided into three classes serving staggered terms. Through the nominating committee, the Board has nominated the following persons for election as directors to serve three year terms following election or until his successor is qualified and elected, subject to earlier termination by death, disability, resignation or removal.

Thomas K. Grove, continuing director
Robert R. King, continuing director
Jon Thompson, continuing director
James P. Clark, new director

The election of the Nominees requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority (50%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock entitled to vote on the matter. Shares eligible to be voted, for which a properly dated and executed proxy is received by the Secretary of the Company before the 2007 Annual Meeting, will be voted in accordance with any choice specified. Where no choice is specified, eligible shares will be voted for each Nominee. If any nominee is not available for election, the proxies will be voted by the named proxy holders for such substitute Nominee as the Board of Directors may designate. Management has no reason to believe any Nominee will be unavailable to serve.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE NOMINEES LISTED ABOVE

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company’s directors, Bank executive officers and persons who own 10% of the Company’s Common Stock to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) initial reports of beneficial ownership on Form 3 and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company on Forms 4 and 5. Reporting persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file. To the Company’s best knowledge and belief, all directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders were in compliance with such reporting requirements.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Audit Committee consists of four outside directors, each of whom is determined to be independent for audit committee purposes as defined by the NASDAQ Listing Standards. The Board of Directors has affirmed that each member of the Audit Committee has no material relationship with the Company that would jeopardize the director’s ability to exercise independent judgment. The Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. Director Yecny has been determined to be qualified as an Audit Committee financial expert as defined in Item 401 of Regulation S-K.

The Audit Committee provides assistance to the Board of Directors in fulfilling their oversight responsibilities relating to corporate accounting, reporting practices of the Company, and the quality and integrity of the financial reports of the corporation. The purpose of the Committee is to serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the Company’s financial reporting process and internal control system, review and appraise the audit effort of the Company’s independent accountants and internal auditing department, maintain free and open means of communication between the Board of Directors, the independent accountants, financial management, and the internal audit department.

The Audit Committee is responsible for assuring the independence of the independent auditor and for retention, supervision, and termination of the independent auditor. The independent auditor reports directly to the Audit Committee. The Committee must approve all non-audit related engagements awarded to the independent auditor. Such engagements must not impair the independence of the auditor with respect to the Company, as prescribed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, thus payment amounts are limited and non-audit related engagements must be approved in advance. The Audit Committee determines the extent of funding that the Company must provide to it, and has determined that such amounts are sufficient to carry out its duties.

With respect to the year ended December 31, 2006, in addition to its other work, the Committee:

 
·

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Oversight of Executive Compensation Program
 
The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) oversees our compensation programs. Our compensation programs include programs designed specifically for our executive officers, including the President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and other executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table (the “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”).
 
The Board established the Compensation Committee to, among other things, review and approve the compensation levels of senior executives, evaluate their performance, and consider senior management succession issues and related matters for the Company.

The Compensation Committee believes that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals by the Company, and which aligns executives’ interests with those of the shareholders by rewarding performance above established goals, with the ultimate objective of improving shareholder value. The Compensation Committee evaluates both performance and compensation to ensure that the Company maintains its ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and that compensation provided to senior executives remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of our peer companies.

General Compensation Philosophy

The Company’s executive compensation program is designed to attract, reward and retain key executive officers, to motivate executive officers to perform to the best of their abilities, and to achieve short-term and long-term corporate objectives that will contribute to the overall goal of enhancing shareholder value. The Committee believes our current compensation package, wherein a significant portion of executive officer compensation is dependent upon the Bank’s strong and sustained financial performance, aligns their interests with those of the shareholder. The compensation package for our executive officers is comprised of four main components: Base salary, incentive bonus, equity compensation, and retirement benefits.

Base salary. Base salaries for executive officers are based upon recommendations to the Committee by the Chief Executive Officer, taking into account such factors as competitive industry salaries for similar sized institutions, an executive’s scope of responsibilities, and individual performance and contribution to the organization. The Bank’s Human Resources department obtains compensation data from a salary survey supplied by the Company’s accountants and compiled by independent compensation consultants or other surveys that reflect a peer group within the region, and provides data to the CEO and Committee for its consideration in connection with the determination of compensation levels. To the extent it deems appropriate, the Committee also considers general economic conditions within the area and within the industry. The Committee determines the base salary for the CEO. The Committee believes that base salaries on the lower end of the spectrum allow for a greater potential of incentive payouts yet do not put such a large drag on shareholder value when we perform below our peer group.
 
10

 
Incentive bonus. In 2006, executive officers were eligible to earn a percentage of their income before taxes based on the achievement of specific goals tied to return on equity, and in some instances income growth over the prior year. The Compensation Committee set the goals for specific levels of achievement before the beginning of the year along with a range of target levels. At year-end, the target level achieved for each performance measure is combined to arrive at the final incentive compensation award. Goals and target levels may differ from officer to officer. Target levels of performance are compared to a national peer group. No incentives are earned if the Bank doesn’t reach the 50th percentile of peer group performance. Peer group performance was chosen as the measurement as opposed to stock performance due to the small percentage of the number of shares trading of the Company’s common stock.

Equity compensation. A long-term incentive plan is generally made available to executive officers, as well as other levels of management, in the form of stock options. These provide an additional incentive to participate in the long-term success of the Company and to align the interests of shareholders and management. Dollar levels of options are based on officer level when granted but no specific amounts or timetables of awards have been set.

Retirement benefits. Retirement benefits have become an important element of a competitive compensation program for both attracting and retaining senior executives. The Bank’s executive compensation package includes matching contributions to its Simple IRA Plan up to 3% of compensation which is available to other employees as well. Certain senior officers have been selected to participate in the Bank’s Deferred Compensation Plan described below at “Post-Employment Payments and Benefits.

Health and Welfare Plans. The Bank provides medical, dental, vision, life insurance and disability benefits to all eligible employees. The Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in these benefit plans on the same basis as all other officers and employees.

Additionally, the Board may, at its sole discretion, award bonuses based upon an individual’s performance, contribution, and accomplishments during the past fiscal year, and/or based upon the Bank’s financial performance.

The Committee and the Board believe that our comprehensive executive compensation packages contribute to the continued success and growth of the Company and are an important factor in attracting and retaining qualified individuals to lead the Bank.

$11,328 of this amount is reported in the salary column (c) and $39,637 was non-equity incentive plan compensation earned in 2005 and deferred when payable in 2006.

The Bank established in 1995 and amended in 2003 the Deferred Compensation and Incentive Plan. A new plan effective January 1, 2005 was written to comply with section 409A of the tax code which effectively created a second plan with the amounts in the prior plan grandfathered with pre-section 409A rules (the 2005 OPBC Deferred Compensation Plan or the “Plan”). (While the final regulations under Section 409A of the IRC, which is applicable to non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements, have not been issued, the Bank designs and operates its officer compensation plans with the intent to be in good faith compliance with the statutory provisions that were effective January 1, 2005). The Plan provides for certain senior officers of the Bank selected by the Board to defer up to 50% of salary and 100% of annual incentive compensation with a minimum $5,000 annual contribution required. Contribution elections can be changed annually. Participants are required to contribute 50% of incentive compensation to the Plan. Amounts deferred are credited to a bookkeeping deferred compensation account maintained by the Bank for each participant in the Plan. The Bank has no obligation to fund its liability under the Plan, and the deferred compensation accounts under the Plan remain the property of the Bank until distributed to the participants. A participant's elected deferral is 100% vested at all times.

Under the Deferred Compensation and Incentive Plan, only the payment of the compensation earned is deferred. There is no deferral of the expense in the Company’s financial statements related to the participant’s deferred compensation and investment earnings. Salary, bonuses, and investment earnings on deferred balances will be charged to our income statement as an expense in the period in which the participant earned the compensation.
 
The Bank pays an amount equal to the Bank’s average return on equity as interest on deferrals. The Bank’s contributions under the Plan are vested on the first to occur of the following events: (i) the participant's death or disability while employed by the Bank; (ii) the participant's retirement; (iii) termination of the Plan; or (iv) termination of the participant's employment with the Bank. Participants are entitled to the value of the vested portion of their deferred compensation accounts after the occurrence of one of the vesting events described in the preceding sentence. Required incentive compensation contributions to the plan are at risk until vested evenly over a five-year vesting schedule. As of December 31, 2006 the Bank’s liability to the seven participants in the Plan was $2,294,529.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Bank Compensation Committee submits the following report on executive compensation for fiscal 2006. The Compensation Committee is responsible to develop executive compensation programs to retain and motivate executive officers and to ensure that their interests are aligned with the interests of the Company’s shareholders. The Bank’s policy is to offer competitive compensation opportunities for its employees based on a combination of factors, including Bank growth, financial performance, and the individual’s personal contribution to the business.
 
14

 
Within the parameters of the current program, the Committee annually reviews executive compensation and recommends to the Board for its approval appropriate modifications including specific amounts and types of compensation for the senior and executive officers. The Committee is responsible for the compensation of the CEO and reviews for consideration the recommendations of the CEO regarding compensation of other senior and executive officers.

The Committee recommended based on its review and discussion with management, that the Board of Director’s include the compensation discussion and analysis in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for filing with the SEC.

TRANSACTIONS WITH OFFICERS AND BOARD MEMBERS

During the 2006 fiscal year, the Bank entered into banking-related transactions in the ordinary course of business with certain executive officers, directors and principal shareholders of the Company (including certain executive officers of the Bank), members of their immediate families and corporations or organizations with which they are affiliated. It is expected that similar transactions will be entered into in the future. Loans to such persons have been made on substantially the same terms, including the interest rate charged and collateral required, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not affiliated with the Company or the Bank. These loans have been, and are presently, subject to no more than the normal risk of collectibility and present no other unfavorable features. The amount of loans to directors, executive officers and principal shareholders of the Company (including certain executive officers of the Bank) and their associates as a group at December 31, 2006, was $3,428,851. As of the date of this proxy statement, all of these loans were performing loans.
