Passport Program
The Kentucky Passport Program was introduced at the 2023 OPS meeting and was well received so a new passport program was started at the 2025 OPS meeting. The purpose of the program is to encourage individuals to visit all of the chapters in the state. The program runs from the 2025 OPS Meeting to the 2026 OPS Meeting. Simply print the Passport and when you visit a chapter, have the Chapter Director (or Assistant Director) add their initials and date to the Passport. Everyone that visits all of the Chapters will be entered into a drawing for a prize at the 2026 OPS Meeting.
