Meetings
All OACES meetings start at 9:30 unless otherwise noted.
In addition to our Meeting Schedule, there are many upcoming training events and conferences throughout the year.
Counties are encouraged to apply or nominate fellow OACES members for our Education & Leadership Scholarship Program.
OACES attendance at these events is a great way for individual professional development but also benefits your county and the OACES organization.
Conferences
The Fall OACES Conference was held on Tuesday October 20 2020. This was a virtual event, conducted via GoToMeeting web conferencing services. Materials from this and other conferences are available below for download and review.
If you have any questions, please contact Greg Lang, County Road Program via email or telephone at 503-701-5004.
