Board of Directors and Advisory Board

ODF Board Members

After 35 years as an organized community, we continue to have at least twelve volunteer board members at any one time, who are a mix of internal corporate practitioners and external consultants.

An ODF Board Member Role is Open

We are a working board that shapes the present and future of our community.

If you’ve been actively engaged with ODF and are passionate about advancing the field of organization design, we’d love to hear from you. We are especially interested in adding someone whose skills, interests, or career focus bring a technology perspective to complement our current Board.

Who we are and what you would be doing

The ODF Board is a working board of volunteers* who organize and deliver ODF offerings, including the annual conference, monthly virtual opportunities to connect and learn, and advance practitioner skills with Intro to Org Design. The Board also ensures fiscal stewardship and long-term planning. Please read more about the board role expectations HERE.

What our board members experience and achieve

We have a passion for organization design and we rely on community and knowledge of the practice to be successful. We share a great sense of humor and we have fun.

In general we are looking for:
    • A passion for ODF demonstrated through previous involvement with our committees or events
    • Professional experience in organization design
    • Background that increases the diversity of the current board
    • Skills (such as website/tech, marketing, or finance) as needed to fill gaps
    • Willingness to commit to a 3 year term

Your next steps – by November 30, 2025

Read about the application process HERE and send us information about you. Submit your letter of interest as we will be looking to fill the position over the summer.  Board members listed below are the subcommittee compiling applicants and they would be thrilled to talk to you should you have any questions.
