OSCA Annual Conference
Was great to see you on Friday, October 10, 2025 at Lincoln High School in Portland, OR.
Thank you to our Sponsors!
OSCA's 2025 Keynote Speaker: Lyndsay Morris
Lyndsay Morris, M.Ed., is a global leader in human-first education, equipping schools with practical strategies that reduce stress, decrease behavior referrals, and cultivate well-being. A former school counselor and Educator of the Year turned founder of Generation Wellness, she’s trained over 500,000 educators and students with simple, science-backed tools that actually stick. Blending neuroscience, storytelling, and lived experience, including her recovery from a life-threatening illness, Lyndsay delivers keynotes that are equal parts practical and powerful. Her message sparks clarity, restores hope, and reminds us that even in chaos and conflict, peace is still teachable.
