Whether you are looking to network with others, or if you are interested in expanding your professional horizons by volunteering, OCIABC has interesting opportunities happening all the time.
Networking
Networking is a constant within OCIABC. You have opportunities to meet dozens of new people or reconnect with acquaintances at every event.
There are hundreds of people involved in the communication arts field within the Portland and SW Washington area. Many of these folks are active members of OCIABC and regularly attend our events. They come to listen and learn, others find leads for jobs or talent-finding opportunities, and some will find an opportunity to drop off a business card or two. And a few select others you'll probably only see once
or twice a year at the
Spring or Fall Minglers – very fun events indeed!
Non-members and guests are also welcome to check out most OCIABC's seminars or events. Non-members attend at a slightly higher fee.
Volunteering
Volunteering gives members the chance to really grow within the organization. These members have a hand and a say in the things we do and the experiences we provide. There are many levels of volunteer opportunities available. OCIABC Board and committee members are volunteers committed to helping OCIABC for a specific duration of time. We also usually need help with mailings, event registration, room set up and many other event planning activities. OCIABC needs volunteers for a number of tasks, big and small. Get involved, meet new people and contribute to your professional organization’s success.

Looking for a few good people!
Each Spring, OCIABC teams with PRSA to host a low-cost, info-packed half-day conference for local communicators. The organizing committee for the annual Portland Communicators Conference is just getting started and is looking for a few good people to join in the fun planning this event. There are plenty of small assignments to be had if you think you'd be interested in lending your talents to this project. For more information, please contact Tracey Barnett, executive vice president, OCIABC, at tbbarnet@lhs.org or 503-413-7028
