Hello! My name is Julie Woodburn, and I’m proud to serve as OAEA’s Vice President of Regions. I’m excited to work alongside the Executive Committee, Leadership Committee, and especially our dedicated Regional Directors to support and strengthen our organization.
In this role, I collaborate closely with Regional Directors to ensure that OAEA is your go-to resource for professional development, art education leadership, networking, and meaningful connections within our art education community.
Ohio is divided into eight regions, each made up of several counties. Regional Directors work to provide engaging opportunities for members, including workshops, museum visits, luncheons, lesson plan swaps, evaluation support, opportunities to explore new art products, regional exhibits, recognition of award winners, and more. As a leadership team, we meet five times a year to plan many different activities, while each region’s officers and meetings help bring these opportunities to life locally.
If you’re not already a member, explore the regional map to find your region and get involved in all that OAEA has to offer!

OAEA Calendar
The OAEA divides Ohio into eight geographic regions to serve its membership: Central, East, North Central, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest, and West. Each region conducts an annual meeting at the OAEA Professional Development Conference along with selected meetings within their region. Each region organizes programs in response to the needs and interests of their regional membership. Regions elect, for a two year term, a Regional Director, Regional Director Elect, and an Advocacy/Public Relations Chairperson serving no more than two (2) consecutive terms for the same elected office. These elected individuals serve on the OAEA Leadership Assembly.
Regional Colors
Northwest = Red, Central = Silver, Northeast = Pink, East = Purple, Southeast = Royal Blue, Central = Yellow, West = Turquoise, Southwest = Kelly Green
Volunteer opportunities are available within each region.
