On behalf of the OAER Conference Committee, thank you for joining us for the OAER 2026 Conference on September 10–11. We appreciate you taking the time to attend, participate, and share in the conversations that made this event such a success.
We hope you found the sessions informative, the discussions meaningful, and the connections you made valuable. Our goal for this conference was to provide opportunities for learning, collaboration, and inspiration around mentoring — and we hope you left with new ideas and resources that you can bring back to your programs and communities.
We are grateful to each presenter, vendor, participant, and committee member who contributed to making this conference a memorable experience. Your engagement and willingness to share your knowledge and experiences helped bring the conference theme to life.
Thank you again for being part of OAER 2026. We look forward to continuing to learn, connect, and grow together in the future.
Sincerely,
