OCP Welcomes Becky Noble!
OCP has selected Becky Noble as interim executive director.
She will lead OCP as the organization conducts a local and national search to
select the next permanent executive director.
Becky is a longtime Omaha
singer/actress and has performed at OCP numerous times. She served in a
leadership position as Visual and Performing Arts Curriculum Specialist for
Omaha South High School for 13 years; she retired last year. She also served as
