OCA SAA Meet and Greet with National SAA Chair

Hello everyone,

Members of SAA OCA enjoyed a unique opportunity last evening to meet with Ryan Bullock, current President of National SAA, via WebEx. Through the web interaction, Ryan was able to learn a bit more about our chapter; and it was definitely encouraging to hear his insights.

It was a historical meeting, and we hope to have many more of them in the near future. On behalf of the SAA board, thank you to all who attended. A special thanks to Ryan and the National SAA board for all that they do.
