With President Matt Scales reigning from McMinnville, the conference committee liked the idea of highlighting the uniqueness of his town. With that in mind, and the fact that the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum is one of McMinnville’s top attractions, we were inspired to embrace an air and space theme for the year. We are excited to debut this theme with our fall conference and will carry this aeronautical inspiration throughout President Scales' term of office.

Topic: Raising the Standard for Resiliency
What do we do when everyone says 'I'm fine' after a critical incident? Who does it fall on to ensure the resiliency of the individuals working for the department? Lastly, is burnout and a disgruntled mindset avoidable in a trauma-packed career? This presentation is about creating a reality for those in law enforcement to have successful careers, meaningful relationships, and a strong overall well-being.
