Registration is now open for the 2026 OCCMA Summer Conference
The 2026 Oregon City County Management (OCCMA) Summer Conference is scheduled for July 7-10 at the Ashland Hills Hotel & Suites, Convention Center in Ashland. The conference theme is, “Leading with Purpose: People, Place, and Professional Integrity,” and the planning committee has developed an outstanding program to build city and county managers’ leadership skills.
In addition, four local tours will be offered for attendees to learn more about the projects around Ashland and neighboring cities. Anyone who has applied for a scholarship to attend the conference is advised to please hold off on registering until they know if they are awarded one.
Similar to last year, the OCCMA is offering a skill-building day dedicated to building strong managers in local government, and the cost is included in the full conference registration. Attendees who are not registered to attend the full conference can sign up to attend this day only for $150. Cities are asked to please encourage their staff who are interested in bolstering their knowledge of what it takes to be a local government manager in Oregon to participate.
