OACP Annual Conference is underway...
The Riverhouse Convention center is filled to capacity with a
record number of conference attendees and vendors. The first day was filled
with committee and board meetings, along with a Past Presidents' Dinner and
Retired Member reception. It was nice to have a chance for members to
connect and catch up with current and former colleagues. Today started with
training from Kevin DeShazo while vendor booths were being set up out in
the Exhibit Hall. Tonight will be the Vendor Reception, the Auction, and an
outing to Bend. A full day indeed.
