Connect — Grow — Impact — Volunteer!
Volunteering is the foundation of our Organization Development Network. While we rely on our talented staff to handle our day-to-day operations, the real work of OD Network happens when volunteers share their time, energy and expertise with their fellow members to support our mission and accomplish our goals.

ODEA Spotlight: The EMOD Program at Bowling Green State University
Written by Debra Ball, EdD, ODEA Ambassador Committee Member, the OD Network
DB: Today I have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Deborah A. O’Neil, program director of the Master of Organization Development (MOD) Program in the College of Business at Bowling Green State University. Thank you for joining me. While education has its legacy in buildings such as libraries and universities, and in objects such as manuscripts and things created to support learning, every heritage site also carries within it an embedded educational legacy of messages and meanings.  2016 marked more than 40 years of the Master of Organization Development program at BGSU which allowed for more than 150 alumni, faculty, staff and students to celebrate a rich and remarkable legacy of connections, growth and impact around the globe.
