Board of Directors
Like all nonprofit organizations, Ocean Park Association’s (OPA) Board of Directors performs a number of important roles: works collegially with the Executive Director, oversees programs, engages in strategic planning, provides governance, establishes policies, and engages in fundraising. A seat on the OPA board requires true dedication and passion for the mission and vision of OPA in order to continue what was first established when OPA was founded in 1881.
