Board Member Resources
OCCA Board Members, as well as board members of individual colleges, have significant responsibilities. OCCA wants to make sure board members are informed and prepared with the training they need to be successful. This page provides resources for board members in one comprehensive space. Don’t see something on here you believe would be helpful to include for others? Please reach out to OCCA Communications Director Casey White-Zollman.
