James Oakley began the commitment to create a Transitioning Special Interest Group as soon as he joined the chapter last year.  In that time he has patiently attended various events while also planning the structure and strategy for the SIG.  He has helped other SIGs by attending their events as well. Together James and Kesha have created a new exciting SIG for ATD Orange County. 

Both Kesha and James have been an excellent example of what building a community is all about. Thank you both for volunteering and helping to bring new interest to ATD Orange County. 

Both members since 2025
