The OCDA Executive Board voted to establish a LinkedIn Group on the LinkedIn site to facilitate networking among current OCDA members.  There is no cost to the member or to the OCDA organization to participate. 

One of the values of any professional organization is the opportunity to network.  The Board feels this is a major step in creating networking opportunities within OCDA.  Access to the group will be managed by the OCDA Membership Chair.
