We the People
What if you could shape America's programs for education, foreign relations, health, and taxes? Wouldn't that be great? Well, you may not have the influence you'd like on the direction of our country, but you can help chart the future of OLLI. The 10-month effort of OLLI's Strategic Planning Task Force is now at the point where member response is needed to finalize our strategies in the areas we care about: curriculum, member services, finances, governance, growth, and facilities, among others. 

Attend at least one of three town hall meetings to hear more details and to provide your input. 
  • Monday, February 8th, 1:00 pm-2:30 pm, Campbell Center, Room E
  • Thursday, February 11th, 11:00 am-12:30 pm, Medford HEC, Room 321
  • Tuesday, February 16th, 11:00 am-12:30 pm, Campbell Center, Room E 
Check out the issues that will be discussed in this two-page summary, or view an expanded draft summary or the full draft report. Help guide the discussion of the Town Halls by submitting a comment or question in advance.
