[OACRAO] OACRAO Conference - Will we see you there?!

[Becky Cogswell]

Good afternoon!

I hope you all are enjoying the last few weeks of summer before students return for the start of fall semester! It's hard to believe that we are almost two months away from the OACRAO conference at Maumee Bay State Park and Lodge. The Fall conference will be held October 16-18, 2024, along beautiful Lake Erie!

As a reminder, registration is open<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://us-east-2.protection.sophos.com/?d=urldefense.com&u=aHR0cHM6Ly91cmxkZWZlbnNlLmNvbS92My9fX2h0dHBzOi8vb2FjcmFvLm1lbWJlcmNsaWNrcy5uZXQvYW5udWFsLWNvbmZlcmVuY2UtMjAyNF9fOyEhS0dLZXVrWSF3R0Yxa3ZpRU1vc3V6aHB0VG9DLXNnNkVXWVVTWE1lS2ZTeVVKMWRkbXptUkI5UG9CMkdxaW9DSEx3RFZUWDZ3WmpjZVJyMHN1R0FDTWpxbFVlaWFhUUYxX0xQMWZ2YXAtVGMk&i=NjBkMzdkMTNhNzE1MWQwZTcwNjU1NmEy&t=cFF1bDFRODN5NXVjeDd3bEVicmxZU1F6WU9XeUhvTTlIQWtsUld2dXlYUT0=&h=0c51016ba4a44631910f784458c875dd&s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVYFbiBA87hhDWvW2uSRaS6KmyJpnkOs-q9Wkt3mtpJBug__;!!KGKeukY!waVCFyMnp4lfWCGV17o3Lv5krE4tf0CmXlBGvwI6_upbcDHBit9PKllduJF48-U6Lp6xqXnjzuP6qjpuOlc6MgP_VSbr6Xc4NQ$ >! Debating on attending? Here are some benefits to attending the OACRAO conference:


  *   Networking: where else, for a small investment, can you be in contact with people from your profession and vendors who will be able to explain their services?
  *   Sessions on important topics: You will be able to bring good information back to the institution about issues that are currently being discussed at a national, regional, and state level.
  *   What do we need to know about our policies/practices? This is a great time to ask questions, such as "what are you doing about..."

Our LAC sub-committees are working hard to put on a fun and exciting conference! We have planned a bonfire, DJ with Music Bingo and outdoor activities. Maumee Bay has great recreational paths for nature walks! Fall is a great time to visit this beautiful resort! Additionally, there are great sessions scheduled<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://oacrao.memberclicks.net/assets/docs/2024*20Conference*20Agenda.pdf__;JSU!!KGKeukY!waVCFyMnp4lfWCGV17o3Lv5krE4tf0CmXlBGvwI6_upbcDHBit9PKllduJF48-U6Lp6xqXnjzuP6qjpuOlc6MgP_VSa_heu-eg$ >! Session descriptions are attached. Need to justify attending? Attached is a conference benefits letter to help justify your attendance at this year's event!
