The Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs is excited to announce the in-person return of the Oregon Women Veterans Conference
Medford, OR – According to the state officials, this amazing event will be held May 20-21, 2023, at the Salem Convention Center.
State officials also announced that this free biennial conference, hosted by ODVA for more than 25 years, celebrates the contributions, diversity and strength of Oregon’s women veteran community, and is the largest gathering of women veterans, across every generation of service, in the state.
This year’s agenda will include inspirational speakers, informative seminars and breakout sessions, and opportunities to network with other women veterans and receive direct assistance in accessing earned benefits and other resources.
The 2023 conference registration will also incorporate social community connections through the Whova platform, which will further allow women veterans to access conference information and resources, and connect with one another before, during and after our in-person event.
