The Organization Development Institute

Interest Survey for 2007
          Every year we send out a survey to determine the interests of those interested in O.D. If we know the things that interest you, we can do a better job of emphasizing those things that are most important to you. If the activities of a committee interest you, please contact the Chairperson directly. If there is no Chairperson for an activity that interests you or if you get no response, please contact The O.D. Institute office. If there is no committee for an activity that interests you, please let us know and perhaps we can develop one. It is not required that you be a member of The O.D. Institute to work on most of these committees. We are interested in building the field of O.D. into a profession. And, we would like to build a worldwide network of O.D. professionals and O.D. networks  whose interests overlap with ours. Thank you for returning this survey as soon as possible so this information can be included in the next edition of The International Registry of O.D. Professionals and O.D. Handbook.

To respond to this survey, either email your responses to the O.D. Institute at DonWCole@aol.com, or print it out,
complete it, and send via postal mail to: The O.D. Institute, 11234 Walnut Ridge Road, Chesterland, OH 44026, USA.

We are interested in actively soliciting your ideas and your suggestions.

Professionals and O.D. Handbook of over 400 pages/year, a free two day conference on Nonviolent Large Systems Change as well as a national O.D. conference and an O.D. World Congress run close to breakeven as well as periodic consulting opportunities to exciting locations.
