Executive Committee

The Ohio Educational Service Center Association (OESCA) is organized around the 16 regions of the Ohio Educational Regional Service System (ERSS) map. Each of the 16 regions appoints a representative to serve on the OESCA Executive Committee.

The voting members of the Executive Committee shall consist of one representative elected from each of the sixteen established geographic regions, the President, the President-elect, Secretary, and the immediate Past President.  Non-voting members include the ESC treasurers' representative appointed by the Ohio Treasurers of ESCs Association (OTESCA).

When the Association is not in session, the Executive Committee shall be the final authority in all matters vital to the interest of the Association. The Executive Committee also acts on confirmation of all committee appointments made by the President and on approval of positions on proposed legislation.
