The Association of Oregon Counties (AOC) is excited to announce that applications will open for the 2024-25 AOC Membership Exchange Program on June 10.
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 25 participants representing 20 counties, have planned exchange visits across the state.
Learn more about the program timeline on the program’s webpage. The application portal will open on Monday, June 10, and close on Friday, July 12, at 12 a.m. (midnight) PDT.
