Oaks Chapter:

The Oaks Chapter of the MISSAR was charted in 2006, and we celebrated our nineteenth anniversary at our annual meeting in April 2025. The chapter serves greater Oakland County and portions of western Macomb County. Currently, the Oaks Chapter has 61 members. We hold our Board of Governors meetings and our general membership meetings back-to-back from September through June. Our meetings are always on the second Thursday of the month when we have dinner and typically have a guest speaker at the general membership meetings. All members and guests are welcome at all Oaks Chapter meetings. The Oaks Chapter has a great spirit of camaraderie with many opportunities available to participate in any of our programs; leadership development is always encouraged.
