Engagement Team

The Engagement Team’s role is to build connection and belonging in the ODF community. We do this by hosting virtual ‘community conversations’ that offer opportunities to connect, learn, and contribute to ODF. The events include high quality content curated by us that is relevant to org design and of interest to the community. We invite, encourage, and support community members to lead events.

As a volunteer member of this team you have the opportunity to:

Scout for potential guest presenters and topics of interest to our community
Coach engaging events – prepare format, coach guest presenters
Co-host – introduce guest presenter and co-host event
Share – write summaries of events for sharing on social media

Meets 3rd Friday at 11AM ET

Conference Planning Committee

We’re forming the Planning Committee for the 2027 ODF Annual Conference, and we’d love to have you involved. The committee is responsible for shaping the overall conference experience — from selecting the location and recruiting thought leaders, to reviewing session proposals, building the schedule, and driving promotion. It’s collaborative, creative, and genuinely consequential work.

We’re especially looking for volunteers who bring an implementor’s mindset: people who are energized by concrete tasks, who follow through on commitments, who catch the details others miss, and who find real satisfaction in seeing a plan fully come together. If you’re someone who shows up ready to do the work — not just talk about it — there’s a meaningful role for you here.

💠 Time commitment: 1–2 hours every other week, from late July through the conference next Spring.

💠 Meeting cadence: Biweekly Thursdays at 4PM ET

Content Team

The Content Committee focuses on special projects related to our Web presence, including LinkedIn and Twitter, as well as ongoing web maintenance associated with blogging and content. We have a WordPress platform and have training material for those who would like to assist in our virtual community.

Meets 1st Wednesdays at 11AM ET

Practitioner Development

Become a faculty member and conduct ODF’s Virtual OD101 program designed to help early practioners build their skills in organization design; estimated time commitment 9-10 hours over a 6-week period.

Admin OD 101

Support the Virtual OD101 Workshop through program coordination, ensuring logistics, communication, and materials are managed for each workshop; estimated time commitment 10-12 hours over the course of a year.

Speak at a Conference

Each Fall we issue a Call for Presenter Proposals for peer-led sessions during our annual conference. It is held in a different city each year in late April/early May. If you have a topic of interest to consider, please reach out and share more!
