OGA promotes the highest quality of guardianship services. OGA provides education, training, and networking opportunities for guardians and other individuals concerned about those deemed incompetent by the Probate Court. OGA promotes the highest level of guardianship standards and ethics. OGA members adhere to the Standards of Practice of the National Guardianship Association.

OGA Vision

We envision that all Ohio adults in need will have access to the highest quality guardianship services.

 The OGA…

• Advocates that guardianship should only be used as a last resort, and that less restrictive alternatives should be used whenever possible.
• Provides affordable education and training featuring topics of immediate concern to practitioners through speakers, round table discussions, debates, and networking. These sessions bring together multiple disciplines interested in upgrading their skills and knowledge.
• Provides support for those acting as guardians in Ohio. This diverse group provides a forum for the exchange of information and ideas.
• Upholds the Standards of Practice and Model Code of Ethics of the National Guardianship Association. 
• Promotes public policies and legislation that advances the highest standards of guardianship practice.
• Provides members with a membership list on an annual basis. This valuable tool provides names, addresses and phone numbers of fellow OGA members for networking, communicating and seeking assistance with services in other areas of the state.
• Is governed by a board of directors who carry out its mission.
