OESA PEER GROUP COUNCIL NETWORK OESA’s Peer Group Councils continue to be ranked as one of the most significant benefits of OESA membership. Supplier industry executives meet quarterly to address issues of common concern with their peers. Members also learn best practices and industry trends through subject matter experts, roundtable discussions and council surveys. Surveys are generated at the request of members on topics that directly impact their roles and responsibilities. As we emerge from the pandemic environment, our councils will offer hybrid meetings.
