The association Executive Committee consists of the President, Vice President, Secretary/Treasurer, Immediate past President, and Executive Secretary.
COMMUNICATIONS: The OFGA office disseminates information by email to all paid members as it is available, as well as important announcements. General information is also sent from time to time to the larger group of past and future contacts known to the association office. An annual Membership Directory is prepared and sent to all members once a year by the association office. Every effort is being made to communicate electronically to minimize postage costs.
