INTERNATIONAL OMBUDS ASSOCIATION: COMMITTEE SERVICE
I am a member of the Communications Committee of the International Ombuds Association (IOA). I joined the organization itself last year, and completed the "Foundations of Organizational Ombuds" in-person session. It was a four day course that establishes a necessary foundation for serving as an organizational ombuds.
JOURNAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL OMBUDS ASSOCIATION ARTICLE DEVELOPMENT
I'm co-developing (with two working ombuds) an article “Moving into the Ombuds Role: Strategies for Entering into and Advancing in the Profession.” It’s based on a panel with the same title that I moderated at the IOA's Annual Conference in April 2026.
