Laney Hyder, a junior from McMinnville High School, has been elected to serve a one-year term on the executive board of the Oregon Association of Student Councils (OASC). The elections took place virtually at the Annual Fall Conference with a group of 400 students and advisers from over 50 high schools in attendance.
As an executive board member, Laney will represent her region and join a group of eleven other student board members, and ten adult board members from around the state. Her duties include planning and presiding over two statewide conferences, communicating with schools in her region, writing newsletter articles and participating in policy decisions for the association.
The Oregon Association of Student Councils, founded in 1949 and sponsored by The Coalition of Oregon School Administrators (COSA), serves middle and high school students and advisers from around the state. They provide conferences, workshops, online newsletters and summer leadership camps designed to heighten student leadership development and improve school culture. In the last few years, OASC has also added a Capitol Ambassador program and has begun organizing with affinity groups.
