About Us
The Oregon City Planning Directors Association (OCPDA) is an affiliate association of the League of Oregon Cities.
The association’s purposes are:
-
To foster and facilitate professional education, advice, support, and leadership on planning policy at the national, state, and local levels, by advocating for and supporting our members and engaging local, state, and federal agencies on planning and community development interests.
-
To work with the League of Oregon Cities in representing planning and community development interests to local, state, and federal agencies, and to the Legislature.
-
To promote the need for and value of effective planning policy and programs in Oregon.
-
To provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, information, and best practices, and to promote communication and collaboration among city planning professionals, through the maintenance and administration of an email listserv.
Membership in the Oregon City Planning Directors Association is open to the chief planning administrator or the chief planning administrator’s designee of any of the incorporated cities in the state of Oregon, or a planner or other employee involved in city planning policy employed by any council of government in the state of Oregon.
The Association is represented by a 12-member board of directors. The board typically meets once a month. Board meetings are open to all members.
The Association typically holds its annual meeting during the League of Oregon Cities Conference, and has an annual seminar either focused on legislative and policy issues or on training for planning managers.
