The driving force behind OCSAPN since its inception, and clearly a big part of our success, has been an all-volunteer Executive Committee (Board of Directors). Over the years, this group has expanded and retracted as needs arose.

Currently, our Executive Committee is comprised of the following:

  • Chairperson
  • Treasurer
  • Secretary
  • Hospitality Chair
  • Funding Chair
  • Membership Chair
  • Conference Chair
