Our Committees

The OFCHC carries much of its work through volunteer Committees.  This allows us to: 

  1. Leverage the expertise and interests of our Members.
  2. Get the best ideas and create implementation plans.
  3. Engage our Members in their particular areas of interest.
  4. Achieve our common objectives together.
