On October 6, 2021, more than 100 SEAOSC members gathered together for our first member meeting of 2021 for the annual Committee Showcase and Member Meeting. Attendees came from as far away as San Diego and San Luis Obispo to enjoy a clear night outdoors in LA’s South Bay. They all came with a clear purpose: to reconnect, become more engaged in the Association, make new connections, and to have fun.

Each of SEAOSC’s 15 committees were present to talk one-on-one about their important work and invite new members to join in their work. Nearly every attendee signed up for at least one committee!

This event set a new standard for post-pandemic SEAOSC activities: innovative, member-centric events. This year, the Annual Committee Showcase featured 15 carnival-style games, burgers and fries from The Habit Burger truck, and two autumn-themed beers on tap for a memorable and fun evening. Games of chance brought laughs and prizes for attendees including past board presidents, long-time members, and new members alike. 

And besides the winners of the various games, the association came out a winner as the attendees responded with: “What a great event.” “This was so much fun!” “Can’t wait for the next one!”

SEAOSC is taking the approach that if we’re going to be together, we need to make it meaningful for our members. Plan to join us at our next member meeting: our first Structured Connections happy hour event at Los Angeles Union Station on November 3, 2021.
