The Orange County Debate League (OCDL) is powered by passionate volunteers who help shape the future of our programs through dedicated committees. These committees are formed and approved by the Board of Directors and are each led by a designated board member. Whether focused on tournament rules, training, outreach, or operations, each committee plays a vital role in supporting our mission to promote academic debate across Southern California. Committee members work collaboratively to research, plan and propose initiatives that are ultimately reviewed and approved by the full board.
