History
The Ontario Medical Secretaries Association was founded in 1950. The main impetus of the OMSA over the years was one of support, education, sharing, caring, and celebrating the chosen careers of its members. However, over the past number of years, the Association not only saw its membership decline, but it also lost the outside financial support which it had increasingly come to rely upon. This, combined with employers not supporting their staff by subsidizing membership fees, contributed to a declining attendance at conferences and AGMs, and as a result, it became more and more difficult for the organization to maintain financial viability. For these reasons, the decision was made that as of 31 December 2009, the OMSA-HCA would cease operations.
