During the 2017 – 2019 Annual Conferences we debuted a Past Presidents’ video which featured a handful of past presidents sharing what was happening in OACP and the world during their tenure, along with some words of encouragement. Our desire is to feature a different set of past presidents each year, while capturing the history of the OACP.
Thank you to Nick Alexander, Nick Wolfert, Kelsey Jones, and John Hankemeier for the work done on these videos.
Featuring Past Presidents: Jim Ferraris (2020-21) and Jeff Groth (2018-19)
Featuring Past Presidents: Geoff Spalding (2016-17) and John Teague (2017-18)
Featuring Past Presidents: Mike Healy (2001-02) and Jay Waterbury (2009-10)
Featuring Past Presidents: Vern Wells (2007-08), Mark Miranda (2011-12), Geoff Spalding (2016-17)
Featuring Past Presidents: Ron Noble (2013-14), Rock Rakosi (2015-16), Dave Nelson (2006-07), Steve Winegar (2000-01)
Featuring Past Presidents: Les Youngbar (1999-00), Mike Cahill (1998-99), Ken Johnson (2012-13), Rick Lewis (1991-92), Kent Barker (2008-09), Jim Soules (1997-98), Mike Holden (1984-85)
Our intent is to film each of OACP’s past presidents in order to give a recap of their year as president. We will continue with this project in the months and years ahead.
