DS PILOT PROJECT

The OWHA Executive Committee has been discussing the various levels of divisions and categories within the association.  In addition, we have received a number of suggestions from members of the OWHA.  Accordingly, the following guidelines for creating a new division within the OWHA, has been developed by the OWHA Executive Committee as a pilot project, but we would request your input.
