The OASE Education Leadership Coalition (ELC) was established to develop consensus among superintendents regarding matters of educational policy and school funding. Consensus positions developed by the ELC are used to form advocacy plans and proposals, and to advise COSA staff and guide conversations with legislators and other policymakers.

ELC meetings will be open to all "active" OASE members. Guests who are not members of OASE may also be invited to attend by the COSA Executive Director, as needed to provide information or enhance discussion of particular issues. IF a vote of the ELC is required to determine consensus on any position or plan, only ELC members will be eligible to vote.

• Friday, September 28, 2018, 10:00 am - 2:00 pm, Viticulture Center, Salem
