About The Oakridge Community Association

The Oakridge Community Association is a not-for-profit organization. Revenues directly support the Association, providing a venue for programs and events. The Association is led by a volunteer board of directors, along with full-time and part-time staff, and numerous event and program volunteers. Governance is overseen by the Board, while day-to-day operations and facility administration are managed by the general manager.

To sustain operations, the Oakridge Community Association depends on revenues from facility rentals and membership fees, supplemented by various grants for capital projects, facilitating facility maintenance and improvement.

Our Board of Directors convenes monthly on the third Tuesday (except for July and August), and the Annual General Meeting occurs in September. All meetings are open to the public. As per the Oakridge Community Association bylaws, individuals must possess a current community membership or be invited by the Association president to participate in meeting discussions.
