|
As Campbell family closes in on 30 years of dedicated service to the OACP, we rewind to 1995 when they were first introduced to the association & quickly familiarized themselves with the important work to be done in the legislature as well as ensuring the 1995 Annual conference went off without a hitch in Baker City.
|
Although Larry & Karlyn are long retired, and Craig has taken on other important work - Kevin, along with his wife Marie, carry on the same spirit of dedication and support to members old and new. With nearly 30 annual conferences having taken place since these early days, the planning for the next Annual Conference is already underway.
The winds of change are always around - and I (OACP staff Liz Besand) have learned that this is no different for this association. While the faces in the office have changed over the years, from Gail to Annie, Shayla to Deanna, and again from Kayla to myself, the enthusiasm and diligence to serve OACP members remains steadfast. It's been a joy to join the Campbell family in serving this association, while getting to know and honor those who served before. I hope you're enjoying these "Rewinds" as much as I have enjoyed uncovering them.
