Lodging at the Sunriver Resort

PACE has a hotel block at a discounted rate. 

Email pace@osba.org or  pace@osba.org who will reserve you a room.

The block rate is at a first come, first served basis. 

Questions or issues with lodging? Email  pace@osba.org

 

PACE will cover one hotel night for the first registered attendee from each district, college, school, ESD or PACE member organization. 

  How to get your first attendee's hotel night free:

1. You will need to book all hotel rooms that you need for your organization. You will need to give credit card information to secure any room(s) you book, etc. If you book directly through the hotel, your credit card will be charged. One night fee per member will be reversed on your credit card before PACE Day. If you book through pace@osba.org, your card will not be charged and you will be billed at check out for all nights minus one free night.

2. PACE will then submit to the Sunriver Resort which hotel night is covered. This will happen before PACE Day so that before the attendee checks out, the credit will be applied to their room.

  3. The free lodging night is only for April 12, 2023.

  4.  You will be responsible to pay for additional guests and incidentals. If you cancel less than 72 hours prior to your stay or do not show up, you will be responsible for payment.

 

Questions about the one free lodging night? Email pace@osba.org

Information about The Sunriver Resort room types and amenities is available on the hotel website or by calling the hotel at 1-541-593-1000.

The Sunriver Resort Parking

We encourage you to carpool if you are attending with others from your organization or region. The best place to park is near the Homestead Building. Registered attendees will be sent detailed directions and building information closer to the event.
