Each year, the Association of Oregon Counties (AOC) hosts district meetings where AOC’s 36 member counties gather together with regional partners for collaboration and knowledge sharing on the most important issues facing their communities.
These meetings are typically hosted in-person, by a member county within the district. This year, due to the surge in COVID-19 cases and strain on hospital capacity, AOC has shifted district meetings scheduled for the month of September to virtual meetings. This effort will protect the health and well-being of AOC members, staff, and participants, and minimize impact on local communities.
AOC is continuing to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic, federal, state, and local requirements and regulations, and community impact. Modifications for meetings scheduled in October will be evaluated mid-September.
