Oregon Conservation Education & Assistance Network

The Oregon Conservation Education and Assistance Network (founded as the Oregon Conservation Employee Association Network) was formed in 1992 as a membership organization to provide conservation district employees with capacity building, education, and professional development opportunities to solve natural resource conservation issues that districts face throughout the state. OCEAN's strategy is to deliver the most comprehensive professional development program for conservation district employees, providing the skills necessary to be successful in delivering conservation on the ground. Our strategic goals are to:

• be the authority for training and conservation technology delivery
• build bridges between Districts and others to improve conservation effectiveness
• have the organizational knowledge to be self-sustaining
• enlist members that are actively involved in the organization because of our mission which inspires and enriches
