This spring and summer IOA will be offeringa new series of virtual workshops, forums, and learning sessions to keep the ombuds community connected and to help us learn and grow in ways relevant to this moment.
Offerings will include Sector Meetings, Topic Presentations (short learning opportunities designed to complement IOA's Live Webinar series), as well as Additional Programming/Community Gatherings to learn from each other. The expanded body of events is being developed by the new Community Connections Task Force, comprised of members from IOA’s Professional Development Committee, Conference Committee, the IOA Board, IOA staff, and the Executive Director.
Community Gatherings such as Pecha Kucha, Chat with Chucks, and more (Members Only)
