2018 Fall Regional Meetings
September - October 2018

Keeping school boards informed, engaged and relevant
The pace of change in public education is rapid. Fall Regional Meetings give you a leg up.
Public education in Oregon is in a continual state of change. How can locally elected school board members stay on top? OSBA invites you to attend the 2018 Fall Regional Meetings to discuss opportunities and challenges facing boards and districts across our state.
Fall Regional Meetings are a great opportunity to meet fellow board members in your region, exchange ideas and build support for local education initiatives. And we need your help as well. Feedback from board members and school leaders helps guide our advocacy work and allows us to better address the service needs of our constituents: YOU. This is your opportunity to help shape the work of OSBA and impact the policies and programs we advocate for in Salem.
OSBA conducted 21 Fall Regional meetings across Oregon during September and October. Staff logged over 5,000 miles and connected with over 600 school board members and school administrators, while never leaving the borders of our great state. OSBA President LeeAnn Larsen, the OSBA Executive Committee and several other OSBA board members attended many of the Fall Regionals, spending time and making valuable connects with the association’s membership. Thank you all for your participation and leadership during these meetings.
