This morning, Kevin Campbell gave a Legislative Process Presentation at the Oregon School Resource Officers Association Conference. Kevin urged conference participants to proactively engage in the Oregon legislative process as that has the potential to either enhance or impede the work of school resource officers. Effectively working with the legislature can be daunting, complex, and challenging, but failing to engage is a recipe for disaster and harm. A few keys to success are: authentic relationships with members of the legislature, absolute integrity, telling a compelling story, and support from a community of advocates.
