Scholarships available to attend 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. The 2019 Summit 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.

Scholarships are available to provide financial assistance to heritage groups that send two or more representatives (at least one must be a board member) to attend the Oregon Heritage Summit in Medford. Scholarships will be reimbursable and offered on a first-come, first-served basis, providing up to $300 per organization. Funds may be used to cover costs associated with attending the Summit such as registration, lodging, transportation, and meals.

Registration for the summit will open in mid-February. Organizations can apply for this scholarship before registration opens.
