    Hoping to submit your hard work for an OSPRA award but not quite sure where to start? This workshop will walk you through what it takes to turn your projects, campaigns and communications into compelling award entries.

    Join us on January 30 as we cover how entries are judged, best practices for standout submissions and practical tips to help you tell your story clearly and confidently using RPIE. Whether this is your first time entering or you’re refining your approach, you’ll leave ready to showcase the great work you are doing.

    We can’t wait to celebrate you at the Awards Luncheon on Day Two of our Portland conference. But first, let’s get your work ready to shine.

    This one-hour panel features the School Safety and Mental Health Team from Willamette ESD. These experts have first-hand experience managing crisis communications—from responding to student suicide, to preparing for potential ICE activity near schools, to crafting clear, compassionate messages that help a community feel supported instead of overwhelmed.

    You can even submit your questions ahead of time, and they’ll answer them live during the session. 

    This session WILL NOT be recorded, so you’ll definitely want to attend!
