Governing Council


The OPHA Governing Council is the leadership body of the organization. Comprised of an elected Executive Board and members at large as well as committee and section chairs, the group meets approximately monthly throughout the year to review, update and evaluate progress in implementing its work plan, discuss and develop policy platforms and direction, and to develop educational opportunities for its members, partners and the public. All members are encouraged to attend Governing Council meetings and to participate on committees and/or work groups and in sections. For information about specific meetings, please contact us.
