ODR Forum welcomes Ombudsmen

The ODR Forum will be held in conjunction with the North West Ombudsmen Group Meeting. At the NWOG ombudsmen from the Pacific North West, including British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Washington, Oregon, and Idaho meet to discuss issues and trends of regional and mutual interest. This is a unique gathering as classical (i.e. provincial ombudsman), executive ombudsman (i.e. for coroprate consumers) and organizational ombudsman (internal concerns in universities, employment etc) come together, and this is one of the few meetings across the globe where the three forms of ombudsmen interact.

We would like to particularly welcome the newly appointed Ombudsman for Veteran's Affairs, Pat Stogran, and the Ombudsman for the Province of British Columbia, Kim Carter. Both will be participating in the ODR and OmMbudsman panel.
