General Assembly Election Details
The General Assembly meeting is open to all of the members of the Organization. However, in order to cast your votes, you must be a member in good standing (i.e., paid member through 2009) with OCTAA and a resident of Orange County. In the event that there is an insufficient number of candidates form Orange County, we will be accepting candidates from other counties (with current Board of Directors approval).
