About OCAPS

The Orange County Armenian Professional Society (OCAPS) was established as a social networking organization for Armenian professionals in Orange County.  

For over 25 years, this dynamic organization has hosted a variety of enjoyable events for its members, including cultural, educational, and social functions. In addition, once a year OCAPS hosts an event where proceeds go directly toward targeted areas of need in Armenia, and these contributions are personally delivered to the recipients. 

Members may take an active role in the direction and management of the organization by participating on the Executive Council or on one of its many sub committees, including Events, Membership, Cultural/Educational, and/or Philanthropy. Members have the satisfaction of knowing they are actively involved in a group committed to preserving and enriching Armenian culture.
