OAEA - Call for Leader Nominations

Leadership is a rewarding experience in ways that connect you with stronger bonds to your professional community through the service you provide and the opportunity to grow that leadership returns. When you consider leadership opportunities think of your capacities in skills and availability as well as your experience and inspiration. This may be your “tipping point”, that step into new career territory. Realize your potential. OAEA is made of many voices, including yours. “You’d be great!”
