About the Association
Oregon Staffing Association Mission Statement: The Oregon Staffing Association is the voice of the staffing industry. Our mission is to promote the interests of our members through legal and legislative advocacy, public relations, education, and the establishment of high standards of ethical conduct.

The Oregon Staffing Association has chosen to focus on the following:

Legislation. Across the country, the staffing industry has been the target of adverse legislation that attacks our ability to conduct business and our livelihood. Our Association is prepared to identify and defeat any adverse legislation that is introduced while it is still in committee ? before it ever reaches the floor. We have contracted with a lobbying firm to act as our eyes and ears in the capital to provide an early warning about bills introduced that affect our industry. We then rely on the grassroots efforts of our members to put pressure on their elected representatives to halt the bill. To strengthen the grassroots system we hosted a legislative reception in Portland last fall. We also arranged to have last month?s membership meeting in the State Capital where we received an update from our lobbyist and had time to speak with our elected officials.

Information and education. Historically we have relied on our luncheon meetings to be the main source of information and education. We have expanded our educational calendar to include an additional two half day educational special events featuring very talented industry specific educators. Other enhancements include a weekly informational email about legislative issues from around the country, continuing education credits for membership meetings and educational events, and consistent use of meeting evaluation forms as part of a program to use your feedback to improve the association.
