Graphic Design: We need a designer to help us with the OEF newsletter, awards banquet printed program, and other marketing pieces.
Alumni social media outreach: Are you an Okemos alum? Do you use Facebook or other social media to connect with your classmates? We are looking for alumni from different graduating classes willing to “share” the OEF’s social media posts to help spread the word about the OEF’s work in our district.
