HOW TO BECOME A OC
Everything you need to know to organize a SAMFEC competition.
OVERVIEW
What does it mean to be a OC?
An organizing committee (OC) is the team responsible for organizing one of SAMEFC’s four annual competitions. OCs are made up of student volunteers from a member university and assume full responsibility for planning, organizing, and ensuring the smooth running of the event.
Joining an OC is one of the most meaningful ways to get involved with SAMFEC. This experience helps you develop practical skills in project management, fundraising, and planning.
