Opportunities exists when you join a professional association. Joining an association provides you with a competitive advantage because you become an active, informed member within the industry. You also are taking an initiative to create professional connections and partners that will serve you well during an incident. Oregon Emergency Management Association (OEMA) membership carries important benefits, including access to the latest information, training & exercises, events & workshops, and resource connections. OEMA members work on behalf of the emergency management industry at the local, state and federal level to influence and ensure informed policy-development and decision-making.
