Join Us in Welcoming Ellen Miller
By Melanie Jagneaux, JD, MBA, CO-OP®, IOA President
We are pleased to announce that after a thorough and competitive search process, the IOA Board of Directors has selected a new executive director for IOA.
Ellen Miller will be joining us as our next executive director in mid-February. Ellen comes to us with prior experience as an executive director (most recently serving as the Executive Director of the California Lawyers Foundation) and extensive experience in organizational management, program and service implementation, advocacy, stakeholder engagement, strategic planning, and organizational positioning. Ellen has deep roots in the dispute resolution field and is a trained mediator and facilitator herself. Her collaborative leadership style is already evident as she has begun meeting with IOA leadership to get to know the organization and hit the ground running in February.
