Leadership:

The OSVDPA's leadership is composed of two groups, the Board of Directors and the Technical Advisory Council (TAC). Each group is populated by individuals with extensive knowledge of dynamic positioning. 

Board of Directors:

The OSVDPA is led by its Board of Directors which is composed of 12 Directors representing the vessel operator community, DP training centers, and DP manufacturers. Each Director serves a term of two (2) years on the Board, with elections for Board Members occurring during the OSVDPA's Annual Meeting in December. Beyond the Annual Meeting, the Board meets quarterly unless a special meeting is required. Those interested in becoming a Director should contact the OSVDPA.

Technical Advisory Council:

The Technical Advisory Council (TAC) is charged with making recommendations to the Board of Directors on all matters dealing with the crafting, implementation, and execution of the OSVDPA's certification program. TAC members are selected by the Board of Directors and serve continuous terms. The TAC also has observer members who are provided access to the meetings, communications, and deliberations of the TAC in order for the OSVDPA to obtain advice from other industries or organizations interested in the certification of DPOs.

In addition to the Board-appointed members mentioned above, two seats are also reserved for individual members who act as a representative of the OSVDPA's DPO membership community. The members are elected by the membership as a whole, and this gives the DPOs a "seat at the table" and offers insight to the industry and current trends we might not be able to receive if it were not for our members.
