OMEA President

Iwould like to once again thank Todd Zimbelman for his tireless efforts to put together an amazing All-State Conference! His organizational abilities created an event that went very smoothly All of the conference feedback that I have received has been incredibly positive

As the school year draws to a close, I wanted to inform everyone about what the Executive Board will be doing to prepare OMEA for 2016-2017 In June, Jane Howell, Jennifer Mohr Colett, and I will be the Oregon delegation at the NAfME National Assembly Our activities will include meeting with our congressional leaders, attending workshops to look at new ways to improve OMEA, and also exploring ways to improve the national association Last year was a very exciting time at the National Assembly and I am looking forward to representing Oregon again .

The Executive Board will also meet in August to go over anything that is discussed at the National Assembly, develop our operating budget, and set the direction OMEA will take next year .

Tom Muller OMEA President

As always, I encourage anyone and everyone to get more involved with OMEA . An association is only as active as those who are involved It has been great to see new faces on the board and to hear that more people are becoming part of their district leadership . The new ideas being generated are growing OMEA .

I hope that the end of the school year goes smoothly for everyone I wish you a safe, relaxing and enjoyable summer!
