For Us, Advocacy Matters.

OELMA is currently in an open discussion period to update the structure of our Board of Directors. The discussion period will end in early February when the new structure will go out for membership vote. If approved, a new Advisory Committee will be formed. It will be headed by a Director of Advocacy and will consist of three subcommittees: local, state, and national. These three subcommittees will:

• represent our members and profession as necessary

• share information between subcommittees and members

• create and share resources with members

If approved by members, these committees will be created immediately and OELMA will be looking for members to fill all the roles. If you or someone you know are interested in being the director (appointed term will expire December 31st, 2022), a committee chair or a committee member, please contact us here. 

We are only as strong as our members. We need all our members to be involved. Please consider working on our Advocacy Committee or one of our many other committees. We need you.
