What Is IOA?The International Ombuds Association (IOA) is the professional association committed to championing Organizational Ombuds worldwide. Our members help organizational stakeholders raise patterns and concerns, navigate conflict, and manage change to support highly effective and healthy organizations. IOA sets the standard for excellence by establishing Standards of Practice, a Code of Ethics, and certifying Organizational Ombuds Practitioners (CO-OP®). We provide technical assistance to support properly structured offices and advocate for greater understanding and utilization of Organizational Ombuds. IOA is also the hub for professional development, networking, resources and support for ombuds and their offices. IOA members are the heart and the heartbeat of our association. Membership is important to us, and we strive to foster meaningful member engagement throughout the association. Learn More About IOALearn More About Ombuds
