100th Annual OACRAO Conference 

OCTOBER 14 - 16, 2026 at
DEER CREEK LODGE AND CONFERENCE CENTER

Registration for the conference will open on June 1, 2026

To celebrate this historic event, we're planning a special centennial celebration, and we'd love your help in bringing our history to life. We're collecting photos from past conferences and events to showcase the people and moments that have shaped OACRAO over the years. Whether it's a group shot from the '80s or a candid from last year, your photos can help tell our story.

We're also gathering contact information for retirees and past members who have contributed to OACRAO through the decades. If you or someone you know has moved on or retired but was once part of the OACRAO community, we want to invite them to join the celebration!
