Staff Directory

Due to recent layoffs a number of positions at the OAC have been eliminated, including the agency receptionist. In the interest of efficient communication, direct phone numbers have been added to the staff list below, along with the new contacts for the eliminated positions. Whenever possible please use a staff person's email or direct line rather than dialing the agency main number. The main number will soon be answered by an automated service offering you a choice of offices and staff extensions.
