Committees

Member volunteers talking to booth visitors at Solano Stroll

At OLLI @Berkeley, we rely on the energy, enthusiasm and powerhouse volunteerism of our members to help make our program the best it can be. We are grateful to the committee members noted here and to the many other volunteers who contribute in numerous ways. Designated OLLI team members serve as staff representatives on each committee.
