Priorities 

The ATI-TF Relates Closely to Two of IOA’s Strategic Goals:

• Goal 1 - Ombuds have the capacity and tools to position themselves as essential contributors and trusted advisors in their organizations. The ATI-TF connects as it seeks to support capacity building of existing offices while supporting learning and training experiences for new and aspiring ombuds.

• Goal 4 - IOA has a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and engagement. The ATI-TF would be a member-driven project that could create significant engagement opportunities, especially for new and aspiring ombuds who now make up a significant portion of IOA’s membership. Members would be supporting the creation of new opportunities for organizational ombuds work.
