OD Book Discussion SIG: Joint CBODN/ASTD SIG

SIG Leader: Laura Mendelow (Mendelow_Laura@bah.com | 301-325-5123)

SIG Description:
The OD SIG is built around the idea of an executive book summary. Each month a volunteer presenter introduces and helps us understand the key ideas from a recently-published book whose topic is relevant to Organization Development practitioners. It is not necessary to have read the book to participate; attendees are encouraged to join in the discussion based on personal experience.

Mission: Network with other OD professionals and stay current on the latest trends, concepts and models.

Who would benefit from attending: Any OD professional. Our group consists of experienced and new professionals as well as internal and external consultants.

Venue: 
Booz Allen Hamilton 
8255 Greensboro Drive (Edwin Bldg #1059AB) 
McLean, VA 22102
