To Join the Committee
The International Outreach Committee will be capped at 15 maximum members. The IOC promotes its goals by seeking members who are:
- Committed to contributing service by playing an active role in the development of the organizational ombudsman profession in particular of new programs or offices, with an interest in the work of Ombuds networks or groups such as the Regional Advisory Communities (RAC).
- Full-time Organizational Ombuds, working for an international organization. Up to three exceptions can be made, i.e. they can work for national organizations.
The IOC composition will have a good balance in regional and sectoral diversity of its members. Overall, the IOC will be capable of working in several languages, and able to represent a variety of sectors (corporate, governmental, university) and geographic regions. The IOC membership subcommittee may consider exceptions to the above criteria, in alignment with the IOC’s strategic objectives.
