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.
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.
