State Board Elections - Coming Soon!
Many of you are wondering - what's happening with elections?! OASL is working behind the scenes to record speeches and the question prompts from each candidate. Once those sessions have been recorded, Executive Director, Connie Miley will be sending those video recordings and voting information to delegates, and their advisors. As would have been the case at State Conference, only schools registered to attend conference will be receiving these instructions and videos of the candidates. Each school will submit one ballot, as always. Advisors, please keep your eye on your email for more details!
NEW STATE BOARD REPRESENTATIVES WILL BE ANNOUNCED THURSDAY, MAY 21st!
Some great merchandise is available through our online garage sale. Please visit www.oasl-oh.org and check it out under the EVENTS tab. All items will be shipped to your home. This is a great way to get to some cool OASL gear and also support the organization financially during this challenging time.
Digital Songfest & Funfest on Friday, April 23rd!
