WELCOME...
Welcome to Oregon Community Education Association's website. "Our quest is to provide Oregon residents with comprehensive educational programs, life long learning opportunities, and a better sense of community involvement."
Thanks to ALL who participated in our 2009 Annual OCEA Conference at Salishan….
Pictures are worth a thousand words….so be watching for our e-OCEAN issue being posted on our web page in very near future….
The surroundings were beautiful, the workshops were outstanding, the keynoters were inspiring. Other conference highlights included a wine-tasting with The Flying Dutchman at our Welcome Social, great (& timely) information from Tom Gallagher of The Ford Family Foundation and Melissa Durham of The Oregon Community Foundation, and a challenging keynote address from Greg Marshall.
Even though our numbers were down this year, undoubtedly due to our economy, we received many positive remarks about this year’s conference. Here are a few excerpts taken from returned evaluations:
- “Excellent conference – lots of great information!”
- “I thought the Awards Banquet was the best”
- “This year’s conference topics were excellent”
- “Salishan is fabulous and amazing – great food”
- “I enjoyed the networking”
- “I liked the wine-tasting at the Welcome Social!”
- “Greg Marshall was awesome”
- “I especially liked hearing from the foundation folks”
Special thanks to the Conference Committee that worked so hard to make this year’s conference happen…and thanks to all who attended and participated! We look forward to continued on how we can best serve you now and in the future. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, suggestions or ideas.
Sincerely,
Judy Volta
