Annual Session

The Oregon Executive Development Institute Presents:

OEDI Session 36
March 2-6, 2026

The OEDI Annual Session is Oregon’s premier leadership training for current and future public safety leaders. For 2026, the curriculum has been updated and revitalized to include:

  • Cutting-edge leadership models
  • Scenario-based decision-making
  • Strategic critical thinking
  • Interpersonal skills development strategies
  • Adaptive crisis leadership skills
  • Servant leadership

Through expert-led instruction, peer learning, and real-time problem solving, participants will leave equipped not only with new tools to solve the pressing issues facing public safety leaders but with a renewed sense of purpose and confidence in leading Oregon forward.

  • This year’s session includes a 10-hour online pre-course and 37 hours of in-class training.
  • Who Should Apply? – Current and future leaders from public safety (police, corrections, fire, telecom, P & P, private security), military, private sector with a nexus to public safety and Higher Ed.
  • Undergraduate level college credits available to interested attendees.

The OEDI SESSION 2026 will be held at Spirit Mountain Conference Center in beautiful Grand Ronde, Oregon, a premier training site offering special accommodations for OEDI’s unique program. The rural setting and first-class facilities allow participants to concentrate on the educational experience and networking opportunities fundamental to relationship building, a cornerstone to the session.

Registration Fee: $1,650 – Registration begins July, 2025

Fee includes 47 hours of exceptional leadership training; full meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner); AM/PM breaks including coffee, tea service, fresh fruit, snacks and sodas; instructional materials pre-loaded on an Amazon Fire Tablet and special networking events and refreshments.

Session fee is due at time of registration

Refund Policy – Due to the financial commitment OEDI must make well in advance of each session, no refunds will be granted beyond February 6, 2026.

Lodging: Note, for the Annual Session, past practice has been to include lodging in the registration fee. However, beginning in 2026, attendees will make their own lodging reservations and OEDI will lower the attendance fee accordingly. This will help streamline the registration process and give attendees more lodging options.
