Ten geographic regions ensure DOCA serves members across the entire United States, each led by an elected Regional Vice President.
DOCA's regional structure ensures that members across the country have local points of contact and opportunities for engagement. Regional Vice Presidents serve on the Board of Directors, recruit new JCOC alumni into DOCA, coordinate regional activities, and represent their area's interests in organizational planning.
