Our team works year round to develop and maintain strong relationships with other public-education advocacy groups and legislators. Training members to be better grassroots advocates for education is one of our goals. OSBA serves as a liaison among legislators, Oregon’s congressional delegation and administrative agencies, and school districts, ESDs, community colleges and charter schools.
OSBA leads discussions in board rooms, legislators’ offices, education forums and trainings, and in Washington, D.C. We bring the best back to you.
