Managers-In-Transition


OCCMA Resources

OCCMA provides active members who have resigned or been removed from a position in local government with an array of personal and financial support. Along with the benefits below, OCCMA Senior Advisors also act as first responders when OCCMA finds out a member has been forced to resign. The Senior Advisors will contact the member and inform them about OCCMA's in-transition services. The following services are available to active members in-transition. 

    • May retain active membership status for a period of three years, or for a longer period if authorized by a majority vote of the Board. 
    • Complimentary registration fees for conferences and training sessions offered by OCCMA.
    • Travel reimbursement for active members in transition who are appointed to an ICMA Committee. 
    • Three visits to a pre-selected counseling service. 
    • Online reputation management services to prevent and repair threats to a manager's online reputation at a reduced cost. 

It is important that manager-in-transitions let the OCCMA staff liaison know when a transition occurs and provide the liaison or your Senior Advisor with a personal email address and/or cell phone number.
