Our Board.

The board is made up of elected or appointed member volunteers who jointly oversee the activities of the organization. MNODN is governed by a set of organizational bylaws and the board’s activities are guided by a strategic plan in which members of the organization as a whole provide input and ideas. The board strives to meet the professional needs of its members who participate in the learning and sharing of organizational development theories and practices.

Typical duties of the board members include:

  1. Govern the organization through policies and objectives;

  2. Ensure adequate financial resources;

  3. Create learning and networking opportunities for members;

  4. Grow a strong membership base to share organizational development theory and practice;

  5. Communicate and market information and opportunities to members; and

  6. Create opportunities to acknowledge scholars and practitioners.

A full description of the specific duties of each Board role is available by request. The Board typically solicits new board members each year in April with selection taking place by June. As needed, the Board may recruit at other times of the year and will communicate with members when that occurs. 

While the Board focused on hosting focus groups during the typical recruitment window, they are beginning to recruit off-cycle as several members are at or approaching the end of their 2-year term. We are currently actively recruiting for the following roles:
