Winter Conference
The Ohio Township Association hosts an annual winter conference in Columbus to further the education of trustees and fiscal officers and to provide a forum in which they may exchange ideas. The conference takes place in late January or early February and draws approximately 1,600 attendees.
Thank you to those who attended the 2013 conference! Please find below workshop handouts. More will be posted as they become available.
