OTC Combined Board
Have you thought about becoming part of the combined board?
Becoming involved in the board is the easiest way to stay informed of new developments or decisions that involve you as an employee of the Ohio Highway Patrol! What better way to have your voice and the voice of your constituents heard than to being a part of the decision making! You will be involved in issues such as making responsible financial decisions on behalf of the OTC organizations, deciding upon organizational sponsorship, benefits to the membership, concerns of your fellow members regarding policies etc and being the last vote upon future arbitrations that the association takes part of.
A typical meeting includes approving minutes from the previous board meeting, approving the budget for each individual organization, hearing appeals that were turned down by the legal committee, executive officer reporting as well as an update from our legal counsel team. Committee developments are discussed as well as each district staff representative sharing details of their recent work load that would be beneficial to others. Each district has an opportunity to bring any concerns or issues to the table during this meeting. We go over any old business that was tabled and vote on any new business at hand. It is truly the opportunity to become the eyes and ears of the organization and most importantly the VOICE!
