Call for Committee Members

Bylaws Committee

During the 2018 Annual Business Meeting, a motion to establish a Bylaws Committee was passed. This committee will review and revise our current Bylaws. The expectation will be to meet once a month to determine what needs changed or edited. The committee will submit changes to the Board for review and the Board will submit to members for voting.

Awards and Scholarships Committee

One of the goals of OCRID this year is to improve the nomination involvement of the Awards and Scholarships that OCRID offer. This committee will review and revise the current Awards and Scholarships, to be more relevant to our current membership. The expectation of this committee will be to meet once a month until the necessary revisions are made and submitted to the Board for approval
