• Michael Berger and Pete Batcheller have resigned from their positions on the Board of Directors and all committees, citing personal and work related changes that would preclude them from giving their positions at OUCH the full attention they deserve. We certainly understand that "real life" and family come first and wish them well.
  
  Tony Amabile has resigned from his position on the Board of Directors and all committees, citing health issues that would hinder his effectiveness at OUCH. We hope that Tony can get his issues resolved and get back to full health soon.
  
  We thank all three departing members for their hard work and dedicated service to OUCH and wish them well in whatever the future holds for them.

• The Budget Committee now consists of Brian Nemhauser (chair), Jean French, and Mike Day.

• The Funds Raising Committee is now staffed by Michelle Adamson.

Supporters are our true CHampions!

Congratulations to Bill and thank you to all who participated in this contest.

Voting Cycle Changes

10/13/2007     At the Members Meeting of the 2007 OUCH Annual Convention in Richmond, Virginia, the members in attendance were asked to consider and approve a measure to move the election cycle to coincide with the Annual Convention. Elections would occur in May and the first meeting of the new Board of Directors would take place at the convention where the outgoing officers and directors will pass the baton to the newly elected. This would allow for initiation and orientation of the new officers, directors and committee members at the convention. The new leadership would be presented to the membership at the annual members’ meeting. The measure is also expected to help address a problem of low BoD output between October and the holiday season. The members in attendance approved the measure unanimously.

Brian Nemhauser, Certified Public Accountant and financial consultant, has been appointed as OUCH’s Chief Financial Advisor.

Mike Day has returned to the OUCH Board of Directors.
