Committee Management System (CMS):

The OACP tool being featured this week is one that facilitates committee communication. It also provides a means to keep historical records for current and future committee members to review. If you are serving on a committee this year it would benefit you to learn how to use this resource. If you are not yet familiar with it, it's easy. Just follow the simple steps we have outlined in the document below.

 

Click here for instructions to utilize the Committee Management System.

Click here for an updated Committee Roster.

Please note that we are continuing to get interest from members who would like to serve on a committee and will periodically update the document, individual profiles, and the committee  management site (where members are listed) to reflect this.
