The Association of Oregon Counties (AOC) Membership Committee is excited to announce that applications are now open for the 2023-2024 AOC Membership Exchange Program.
The application process includes a quick, five-minute survey to help identify which counties you are interested in learning more about and what you hope to share about your county with your colleagues.
Based on the application information, applicants will be placed in pairs or small groups and encouraged to plan county visits to get on the ground exposure to county successes, projects, and programs across diverse geographic regions and county structures.
Introduced in 2021 by the AOC Membership Committee, the AOC Membership Exchange Program was created to support AOC’s purpose to unite and advance county issues, foster trust in county government, and develop programs and services that support the success of counties into the future. Since inception, over 20 participants representing 16 counties, have planned exchange visits across the state.
Learn more about the program timeline and apply today on the program’s webpage. The applications portal will close on Friday, July 7 at 12:00 midnight PDT.
