“I am honored by the Board’s trust and look forward to working with the Board…to continue moving OCA forward and building upon the foundation of our predecessors. With everyone’s support we will continue OCA’s growth and stature as a strong voice for private property rights and an invaluable supporting organization for all our members,” said Mr. Suntum.
