MODIFIED MEETING PROCEDURES DURING COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS) PANDEMIC: As per Executive Order N-29-20 from Governor Newsom, Oakland Military Institute’s Board Meetings will move to a virtual/teleconferencing environment using Zoom. The purpose of the Governor’s executive order is to control the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) and to reduce and minimize the risk of infection by “limiting attendance at public assemblies, conferences, or other mass events.” The intent is not to limit public participation, but rather to protect public health by following the Governor’s Stay at Home executive order and the Alameda County’s Shelter in Place order.
