A Message from the Oregon Chapter President:
Well, here we go. I cannot begin to tell you what an honor and privilege it has been serving as your chapter president this past year. I learned a great deal from your feedback and thoroughly enjoyed seeing you at our various trainings and social events. As we are all aware, this FBINAA organization has resulted in excellent training and perhaps more importantly, lifelong friendships and connections. I am encouraged by the dedication and involvement in the chapter by y’all and look forward to my next year as past president. Time to pass the baton to Chief (to be) Jason Harvey!
