Meeting Overview:

At this meeting you will hear from the Office of State Archives on disaster preparedness, listen to a presentation from the new Oregon Public Records Advocate, and take a tour of the State Archives building in Salem. A good portion of the day will be spent discussing records policies and procedures. If your utility has a records policy/program, please bring copies to the meeting to share, and be ready to discuss how and why the policy was implemented. At the end of the day we will set the meeting date for the spring 2019 meeting and brainstorm topics.
