Northern CA VOAD (NorCal VOAD)

Northern CA VOAD (NorCal VOAD) is Northern California's branch of NVOAD. NorCal VOAD meets quarterly in Oakland. Meetings are open to all interested agencies and organizations. Meetings typically include one or more presentations by subject-matter experts, committee reports, and a round-robin so each organization can report on recent activities.

NorCal VOAD is led by an elected Executive Committee of nine members who serve staggered terms of three years each. The Executive Committee selects its own officers - President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer - who serve for one year.
