In 2003, One Call Systems International (OCSI) elected to become part of the Common Ground Alliance within the existing CGA committee structure.  With the OCSI and CGA missions closely aligned, the CGA Board of Directors voted to approve OCSI as an affiliated CGA committee.  OCSI first met as a CGA committee in December 2003; and since that time, the committee has continued to grow to over 60 active participants and 175 members.

The purpose of One-Call Systems International (OCSI) is to promote facility damage prevention and infrastructure protection through education, guidance and assistance to one call centers internationally.  Although the committee focuses on the one call center, the group operates like other CGA committees and encourages participation from all CGA stakeholders.  The OCSI committee has multiple standing subcommittees including a regional contact subcommittee, education subcommittee, and data collection subcommittee.

The committee is currently chaired by Don Heyer (USA North) & Gary Hansen (Blue Stakes of Utah).  To become a member of this committee, contact Erika Andreasen at (erikaa@commongroundalliance.com).
