A Message President
Douglas Vanderpool
Happy November! It is unbelievable to me that 2022 is quickly coming to a close. I may be prejudiced but I think 2022 has been the most incredible year ever for the OCTLA! We’ve been able to return to in-person seminars and events, and as always, the Golf Tournament and Top Gun quickly sold out. We’re excited to announce that we raised over $285,000 for Operation Helping Hands at our Top Gun Awards Gala last Saturday evening! I want to thank our fantastic 2022 Board of Directors and Executive Officers for all they have done to make my year so incredible. Just a gentle reminder, online voting for the 2023 Board of Directors will close tomorrow, November 17th at midnight. It only takes a minute to cast your votes for the 2023 OCTLA leadership, so please do it The last event of 2022 will be our annual Holiday Lunch on December 9th. Then, on January 21, 2023, I will proudly pass of the reins of this fantastic organization to our Incoming President, Lindsey Aitken Campbell, at our 60th Anniversary Installation Program. There are still sponsorship opportunities, tickets and tables available on our website at OCTLA.org. Don’t forget to renew your OCTLA membership for 2023, and continue enjoying your membership benefits. It has been a pleasure serving you.
