IOA Advocacy Committee
About this Committee & Their Mission
IOA's Advocacy Committee works with the Executive Director on a variety of projects that help ombuds advocate for their programs, and help IOA advocate for the field.
The Committee is designed to be highly action-oriented and proactive so that the IOA can be kept abreast of emerging issues and opportunities and can actively work to build a shared concept of the ombuds role and wide recognition of the key elements of the standards of practice for ombuds.
