2011-2012 Executive Board Nominations
At the October General membership meeting, nominations will be taken for members who want to serve on the 2011-2012 Executive Board. The ballots will be sent out in November, and the returned ballots will be counted in December.
I would like to thank the membership for the opportunity to serve as President of the OCDSA. I, along with the other members of the current Executive Board, have worked hard to try to make positive changes for our membership. I would like to thank the other members of the Executive Board for their hard work.
I will not be seeking any of the elected officer positions for the 2011-2012 OCDSA Executive Board. I ask that over the next two months members take time to think about candidates who would be willing to represent the best interest of our membership as a whole for the 2011-2012 Executive Board.

From President Ken Hiller: At our BU10 negotiating meeting on Wednesday, Karen Jones gave us these two job postings. Any of our members who are facing layoff can apply for these jobs. Per a MOU that will be signed next Tuesday (7-27-10), the Undersheriff has agreed that if a OCDSA member who is going to be laid off accepts one of these jobs, that member will still have recall rights to the OCSO when their turn comes up by seniority.
