Now that the busy season is winding down, it is time for all OCAA members to turn their attention to the growth and expansion of their companies. OCAA seminars guide attendees to success by providing practical information that can be used by companies on a daily basis. The upcoming sessions will provide members with a very cost effective way to implement mandatory safety training, enhance tree worker skills and become more effective managers. OCAA arborist training sessions provide CEUs for certified arborists and tree workers. These seminars are by advanced registration only, and may sell out. Register early to avoid disappointment.
