The Association of Oregon Counties is a statewide body that has represented Oregon's counties since 1906, focusing on advocacy, communication, and education through information sharing and consensus building. It operates as a membership organization for county governments, coordinating shared policy efforts and facilitating collaboration on public policy issues. The organization is based in Salem, Oregon, and serves as a resource within the public policy arena. Its primary constituency is the counties of Oregon, for whom it helps address governance, revenue, and related policy challenges through coordination and legislative outreach. In January 2026, the association added staff to strengthen its legislative work, appointing Rachael Gangelhoff as Legislative Affairs Coordinator, and it has engaged in national forums such as the National Association of Counties conference to exchange ideas with peers.
