Scholarships available for 2019 Oregon Heritage Summit, April 25-26

The 2019 Oregon Heritage Summit<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/OHC/Pages/Conference.aspx>, April 25-26, in Medford will focus on the Culture of Board Engagement and will dig deeply into the theory and practice of great boards- what a good board looks like, how every board needs to reflect the individual purpose and community it serves, and how organizations can build and sustain a strong board team. More than just listening and learning, this session will provide immediate, practical advice on how to make your board stronger, more resilient, and more effective in your community.

Why should you attend? The bottom line is, a strong, sustainable board carries out the organization's mission more effectively and strategically!

Scholarships will be reimbursable and offered on a first-come, first-served basis, providing up to $300 per organization.
