An OCF Milestone Moment: The Inaugural Global Town Hall

Feb 16, 2024

In this special episode of OCF Crosspoint, you’re going to hear audio from the inaugural OCF Global Town Hall, which was broadcasted live on 10 February from the new Home Office in Colorado Springs, Colo.

The first voice that you’re going to hear is OCF Council President Col Dale Holland, USAF (Ret.). He and OCF’s CEO / Executive Director, Col Scott Fisher, USAF (Ret.), started by discussing the impactful journey and future visions for OCF. After their opening remarks, the remaining hour or so was used as a Q&A time.

During the Q&A portion, you’ll also hear the voice of LTC Colin Wooten, USA (Ret.), who helped moderate and also posed a mix of both real-time questions from the event and questions submitted ahead of time.

The questions covered in this episode centered on these 12 topics:

  1. Local Leader training and information.
  2. Balancing OCF involvement with commitment to the local church.
  3. Starting an OCF ROTC group at a university that does not have one.
  4. Opportunities for retired ex-military to get involved with OCF.
  5. Creating more awareness about OCF.
  6. Challenges that our Christian military chaplains are facing.
  7. OCF funding shortfalls.
  8. Focusing on the National Guard and Reserves.
  9. Reaching out beyond U.S. membership.
  10. Pursuing GRACE relations amid a divisive and dismissive culture.
  11. Regional training conferences.
  12. Two to three things that both Dale and Scott are excited about in the upcoming year.
