Travel Grant
In the 2024-2025 Budget, the DPO allocated $4750 in funds to help assist with travel to and from our Quarterly SCC Meetings to lighten the burden on SCC members and Officers of DPO Caucuses with need. This need-based grant is awarded on financial and distance basis.
- Meeting Access:
-
- The SCC Business Meeting will be open to all SCC members. Non-members will be able to view the meeting via a listen/view only livestream.
- The Democratic Party of Oregon requires all event attendees to other parts of the SCC Weekend to be “up-to-date” on COVID-19 vaccines and boosters per CDC guidelines.
- We strongly urge all SCC members to make sure you are fully vaccinated & boosted for COVID-19 before our meeting. We ask delegation chairs to work with your Delegation to ensure members are vaccinated and to coordinate alternates for delegates who are unable to attend as per your County or Caucus Bylaws.
- Consider taking a COVID rapid test before you leave home if you have one available. If you receive a positive Covid test, or if you have any cold- like symptoms (such as cough, fever or chills, shortness of breath, congestion, etc) please do not attend and notify your delegation chair immediately.
