OCC Board Members

Ossipee Concerned Citizens Officers of the Board

Dean Robertson

President

    "I have been in Freedom part-time since 1995 and full-time in 2008 when I retired from the golf business. I was asked to join the Board about ten years ago. When long-time President Pat Parsons of OCC retired, I became the President. OCC is such a valuable part of Ossipee and surrounding communities, assisting so many people.
Giving of my time has always been in my blood. I was President of my local Lions Club in Massachusetts, and twice President of my local church. I also served on my town's Board of Appeals for 25 years while in Mass. Now being full-time in Freedom, I was President of the Freedom Community Club and I am President of our church in Freedom. Being part of OCC is probably one of the most rewarding positions I have ever had.
I enjoy camping and gardening with my wife Judy, but the continued success and growth of OCC is always on my mind. I know that under the new leadership that OCC will always be an asset to our community and will continue to help people for years to come."

Roland Millette

Acting Vice President & Treasurer

"I have been a part of the community since 2005 and joined the board in 2018 after having a conversation with the President of the Board, Dean Robertson. Since that time, I have come to appreciate the work that OCC does in the surrounding communities and its impact on the lives of our citizens. In the past, I have volunteered to help OCC with turkey dinners, packing for Meals on Wheels, and various penny sales and other functions. Since joining the board, we have worked to put in place the people and tools necessary to ensure OCC's continued success so it can touch the lives of generations to come. Since moving to Ossipee, I have served as a board member and officer of Ossipee Bluffs Association, Ossipee Area Community Center, and the Town of Ossipee Budget Committee."

"I have been in this community since 1965 and have been a part of the OCC board since around 2005- I wanted to give back to the community.
So many accomplishments, but the best is just being a member of the team. I volunteered at the Conway Dinner Bell for 17 years and I continue to be on their Advisory Council. I am also a member of RSVP. Volunteering my time has been very rewarding to me. I enjoy it very much."
