OCCM Chapter Resources
Having resources and guides are key to the success of your OCCM Chapter. This page is your one-stop-shop to locate materials and resources for your Chapter -- whether to start it up or to keep it going and attuned with the OCCM objectives.
We are working to develop standardized materials that can be utilized uniformly at all the Chapters, such as tabling events. Check this page frequently, especially the OCCM Toolkit section, for standardized print materials that you can use for your Chapter events.
