Kick off the conference Tuesday morning in Pendleton with a round of optional, high-impact training. This week features two more breakout presenters delivering concise, can’t-miss sessions.

Magen Fong | Oregon Pacific Financial Advisors

After receiving great feedback at our ELTS conference, Magen is back for a second appearance -bringing a new focus and topic to share.

Topic: "Serving Those Who Serve: Retirement Readiness for OPSRP Officers"

Description:Understanding the Oregon Public Service Retirement Plan (OPSRP) is essential for officers hired after 2004, yet many lack clarity on how their benefits are structured and calculated. This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of eligibility requirements, key pension calculation factors, retirement payout options, and the role of the Individual Account Program (IAP) in supporting overall retirement income. Attendees will gain practical insights and actionable information to help guide their officers toward long-term financial readiness and informed retirement planning.

Darin Campbell | Working Dogs Oregon

Topic: "Four Paws to a Complete Wellness Program"

Description: Darin Campbell, Executive Director of Working Dogs Oregon introduces the police comfort dog program as a powerful tool for officer wellness, peer support, and community connection. Police comfort dogs provide emotional support to officers and staff following critical incidents while also serving as a bridge that humanizes law enforcement and strengthens trust with the public. By integrating a comfort dog into a department’s wellness strategy, agencies can improve morale, reduce stress, and build meaningful relationships with the communities they serve.

In recognizing our many Platinum Sponsors - doubled from last year's annual conference - the OACP also extends its appreciation to our members, whose engagement with these vendor partners makes this level of sponsorship possible. This year’s conference has once again attracted a full house of vendors showcasing new products and services for you to explore. During the trade show, we encourage you to take a few extra moments at each booth - ask questions and learn what’s new. Those meaningful interactions not only enhance your experience but also reinforce the value of their investment in our association.

If you were with us for bowling in Pendleton, you already know - this wasn’t about perfect form or high scores. It was about great people, a little friendly competition, and a lot of laughs along the way. So we’re bringing that same energy back for another round.

Hosted as an optional, non-OACP-sponsored outing by Rick McMurry of P&C Construction, Jeff Humphries of Makenzie, and Doug Miller with Spacesaver Specialists, this event keeps things simple: show up, have fun, and maybe surprise yourself.

No bowling experience? Perfect. Whether you roll strikes or just roll with it, this is your chance to unwind, connect, and enjoy a a night that’s all about good company and easy fun.
