Annual Ombuds DayEvery Second Thursday in OctoberHappy Ombuds Day from IOA!Happy #OmbudsDay2022 from the International Ombuds Association! Earlier this month we asked you why ombuds work is more important than ever and how you see this year's theme of Resilience, Respect, and Resolve being reflected in your work. Thank you to everyone who shared their insights via video. Here are a few of the highlights.
How to Continue the Celebration... We encourage you to share your Ombuds Day news, celebrations, and reflections on social media and on the IOA Blog. Post your photos and reflections using the hashtag #OmbudsDay or #OmbudsDay2022. If you would like to share an in-depth story with the ombuds community we invite you to submit a blog post to The Independent Voice.
Ombuds Day serves as an additional opportunity to educate and raise awareness among the public about the history and practices of the ombuds profession including the various ombuds models, the roles they play, the services they offer, and the value provided.
