Who We Are
The Oregon School Boards Association (OSBA) and the Special Districts Association of Oregon (SDAO) formed PACE in 2006 and are working together to keep Oregon students safe, reduce risks and conserve member resources.
No one can match the expertise and decades of experience that OSBA and SDAO bring to property-casualty coverage for local public entities.
OSBA formed the first property-casualty pool coverage for education in Oregon in 1985 and has served education entities for more than 20 years. SDAO has provided coverage for local governments since the mid-1980s and now provides coverage for more than 850 entities, adding schools in 2003 to fill a coverage gap left when a major insurer pulled out of the state.
By merging programs, OSBA and SDAO formed the largest property and liability risk pool of school entities in the state, with more than 200 education organizations.
About OSBA And SDAO
A non-profit association whose purpose is to support Oregon school, ESD and community college board members in their complex leadership roles. The association does this through a variety of services, from board member training and executive searches to policy services, insurance services, publications and legislative advocacy.
SDAO gives Oregon special districts a stronger and united voice at the Oregon Legislature and provides advocacy with state administrative agencies and other units of government, training, information resources, and other support programs. SDAO has grown its membership to over 950 special districts, school districts and community colleges and has become an important support organization for their individual efforts.
Governed by a nine-member board of trustees, PACE offers unequaled price and coverage options to its members. Unlike an insurance company whose profits are distributed to shareholders, PACE’s only objective is to provide reasonable rates and comprehensive coverage to participating entities. PACE’s size and strength help it negotiate the most competitive deals from reinsurers.
And PACE is convenient, available through local independent insurance agents who help you select the right coverage. Schedules for pricing and member contributions are geared to members’ budgeting cycles.
