After an incredible tenure of service and leadership, our CEO Michele Richards has announced her retirement. Michele has been a driving force behind the growth and success of OC Fair & Event Center (OCFEC), including shepherding the organization through the pandemic, helping lead the Board of Directors through two multi-year strategic plans, introducing a master site plan for the property, delivering five of the most successful fairs in the organization’s history, and expanding OCFEC’s free public programs through Centennial Farm, Heroes Hall, Imaginology and now The Ranch Community Center.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff, we express our profound gratitude for her vision, dedication and leadership. Thank you, Michele!
