Thank you for visiting the website for the Oregon Association for Public Information Officers!  Our members represent public information officers and communications professionals from a range of public-facing organizations, including law enforcement, fire agencies, cities, transportation, corrections and more.

We recognize the critical role that authentic and transparent communication has in the communities we serve. As PIOs, we manage daily communications, work with news media, manage social media, navigate crisis communications, focus on brand management and community engagement, plus so much more.

Through OAPIO, we work to support each other, foster collaboration and build relationships across jurisdictional lines. Every spring, we host a conference to further our professional development, share best practices, examine recent case studies and network with PIO colleagues in similar roles across the state.

If you’d like to get involved, please reach out to me. I’d appreciate the opportunity to connect with you!

With thanks,
Kelsey Anderson
President, Oregon Association for Public Information Officers
