The Association of Oregon Counties (AOC) has hired Miles Palacios as a legislative affairs manager, covering issues related to governance, revenue, and economic development.
Palacios comes to AOC with an impressive array of experience and a deep commitment to making a positive impact through strategic policy and community engagement. Prior to AOC, Palacios led the Oregon Association of Student Councils (OASC), a nonprofit focused on the equitable development of Oregon youth leaders.
“We are excited to have Miles join our legislative affairs team to effectively elevate the county voice with our partner agencies and organizations. His leadership in a membership association, coupled with his work in policy and program development for legislators and the governor’s office, makes him an excellent addition to AOC,” said Gina Nikkel, AOC executive director.
Palacios’ first day was Aug. 1.
