<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#000000">The Oklahoma College Assistance Program (OCAP) is looking for volunteers from the Oklahoma financial aid community who are interested in joining a business expert group to discuss topics and programs important to Oklahoma families, schools and OCAP. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#000000">The first of several business expert groups we plan to initiate are Default Management and High School Counselors. In order to provide for maximum input, we're limiting the number of members to 2 per school sector type. We'll also be inviting other experts from outside the financial aid office when their input is relevant to the subject matter, including student and borrower involvement when appropriate. To minimize travel expenses and help avoid time out of the office, we'll attempt to do many of the meetings via conference call. </FONT></SPAN></P>
