Major EventsOCAIR made use of the small grant from AIR to be one of the sponsors of the Symposium of 21st Century China and the Challenge of Sustainable Development and sent a delegation to the Symposium in DC.  Members questioned the value of having major group decisions made during the business meeting only, the election and the components of the Board.  As a result, members voted to have some major changes regarding OCAIR’s organizational structure. OCAIR applied for AIR's small grant to support intended attendence of another symposium on China's Higher Education in Beijing.
