Ontario Care Collective Committees & Meetings

Ontario Care Collective Committees work to meet the needs of the membership. Composed of dedicated volunteers representing numerous member agencies, these individuals work diligently and provide appropriate recommendations on behalf of the membership to the Board of Directors, thereby ensuring that member needs are given the utmost importance.

Major committee recommendations and association endeavours are reported to members at the Annual Conference at the Annual Meeting. Regional Representatives are also in place to ensure that local issues are brought forward to the Board of Directors. This cycle of feedback and contribution from the membership is key to the success of the association.
