Whether you are a veteran board member, a superintendent, a board support professional or a first-time attendee, you’ll leave the conference with practical ideas and a renewed commitment to help your board accomplish the critical work ahead.

Is a bond measure or local option levy in your future? Then don’t miss OSBA’s Bonds, Ballots and Buildings Conference, held once every two years in Salem. This event has a long history of providing resources to help school districts and community colleges plan facilities, define and communicate bond costs to voters, and learn tactics for effective bond campaigns. OSBA is bringing experts in construction and facility planning, finance, surveys and communications together to provide workshops and resources in a one-day conference.
