Organizational Development Special Interest Group

The OD SIG serves professionals interested in exploring, learning and sharing information about the field of organization development.

We strive to increase the impact of OD throughout the Colorado Front Range business community by cultivating the following opportunities:

• Challenge intellectual growth among OD practitioners and stimulate expansion of our practical skills and knowledge
• Foster an ongoing intellectual dialogue, including exchange of best practices
• Promote the value of OD among its beneficiaries through education about the OD profession and by networking with other professions and business leaders to gain the business perspective on OD issues

The group meets regularly on the 2nd or 3rd Wednesday of each month. The program coordinators are Debi Cohen (debra_cohen@hotmail.com) and Holly Pendleton (hollypendleton@hotmail.com).
