Call for Applicants - OMA Accessiblity Committee

The Accessibility Committee will be primarily focusing on our 2025 annual conference for the next several months, with the goal to expand the scope of the committee to encompass all areas of OMA’s programming and resources in the future.

Deadline for the first round of consideration is July 8. Learn more in the OMA news section!
