OSAP Committees provide the opportunity for members to develop leadership skills, and use their expertise and experience to help guide OSAP programs, initiatives and services.  OSAP committees oversee specific activities and projects for the organization, and make recommendations to the board of directors on policy initiatives.

Committee chairs are appointed by the board of directors to serve a consecutive two-year term. Members serve a one year term (July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018) as volunteers on committees for which they have relevant experience. All committee members are expected to actively support OSAP and their committee via appropriate social and other media. Committees report to the board of directors and meet at least once a year in person, and via email and conference call throughout the year as needed.

Inaugural meetings for all committees will be on Wednesday, June 21, 2017 from 4-6pm in Atlanta, GA.
