The elections will be over, the stage will be set and you’ll want to know what's coming when the curtain rises on the 2015 Legislature.  This play will be action packed – in 2015 you will not want to be just a spectator.

What unfolds will affect you, your employees, and your future.

AOI's Annual Meeting and Policy Forum will take place on Wednesday, November 12 at the DoubleTree Hotel in Portland. This is the definitive Legislative Preview Event for the Oregon business community.  You’ll hear from Legislative Leadership, your business colleagues, opinion makers, and maybe a pundit or two.  And, there will be a Legislative Reception immediately following.

Don’t miss it!
