Al Haggerty has been front and center at OVA board meetings reporting for the Oakmont News with dedicated commitment to getting the story out on time and accurately.

On Dec. 19, Haggerty closed his Oakmont reporting chapter and, with his wife Carol, set his sights on Rohnert Park, where the couple will be relocating to be closer to family. The Board of Directors awarded him with a plaque and recognized Haggerty’s role that has spanned more than a decade to keep Oakmonters informed.

Haggerty is a veteran journalist and writer, who worked for the Staten Island Advance newspaper and several other magazines and trade journals. He has also been at the helm of Movies at Oakmont for 12 years. Jeff Neuman, on the Movies board and an OVA director, said Haggerty has been a force on managing the process to run the Sunday film events. “We’re scrambling right now to fill those shoes,” he said.

The Haggertys have lived in Oakmont for 20 years.
