Get Involved!Joining an OLA committee is a wonderful way to get involved - not only within the association - but in the industry you love. It is also a great way for a potential board member to get a feel for the association’s work and needs. From our Annual Scholarship Golf outing all the way through to our legislative endeavors, the OLA has a committee for everyone! Committees typically meet anywhere from monthly to 4 times a year - depending upon the committee and its initiatives. We'd love for you to consider getting involved!
