THE OSSC IS BACK!
What do OSSC members have in common? A passion for learning and appreciation for the value of professional networking, the same qualities that have fueled the OSSC organization since its inception in 1951. After “on-line” meetings only for the past two years, we’re thrilled to return to monthly live in-person meetings with Live Streaming service allowing remote access for those at a distance.

2022/2023 OSSC Goals:
Our newly elected president, John Nunn, has established three very succinct goals for the OSSC this term. All with a single purpose: “give back to our members”
- Improve meeting access for members in Southern California and beyond. OSSC will rotate meeting location between Orange County, Pasadena, and the South Bay areas.
- Restart educational outreach programs and events.
- Modernize the OSSC website to maximize the value to our individual and corporate members.
How Can You Help?
The OSSC is a non-profit, all-volunteer, organization and depends upon members like you, who generously donate their talent and time. As a corporate member, please consider supporting the OSSC in any of the following ways:
