Vote for our next VP of Conferences & Events and VP of Strategic Projects
The time has come to select two new roles in IODA’s Executive Committee; the Vice President of Conferences & Events as well as the Vice President of Strategic Projects. As an IODA member, your participation is essential in shaping the future direction of our global community.
The VP of Conferences & Events plays a pivotal role in fostering our international OD network—curating engaging spaces for connection through annual conferences, webinars, and special events. This role directly supports IODA’s mission of inspiring learning and meaningful change across the globe.
The VP of Strategic Projects is essential to IODA’s evolution, leading initiatives that advance our mission and increase member value. Guided by community input, research, and strategic priorities, this VP designs and manages high-impact projects while collaborating across IODA’s leadership to ensure each initiative is well-executed, measurable, and aligned with our long-term goals.
This year, we received one nomination for each position, as was the case last year. To ensure transparency and member approval, we still feel it is important to conduct an election. We believe this is important for the candidates as well as for the members. We aim for each candidate to receive at least 75% support from voting members. If a candidate does not meet this threshold, the Executive Committee will determine next steps to ensure continuity and leadership support for IODA.
Voting opens May 26 and closes June 2. You will receive a voting link by email—please let us know if it does not arrive.
