IOA 2025 Compensation Survey

Survey of Organizational Ombuds Compensation

If you were an organizational ombuds in practice in 2024, please participate in this important survey. It's designed to gather information to assist ombuds practitioners and to enable IOA to advocate for the field.

Your responses CANNOT be linked to you or your organization in any way: all data will be collected anonymously, without any identifying information (name, location, IP address). Survey findings will be presented only in aggregate to ensure that no individual responses can be isolated. All survey data will be kept securely by IOA.

Please note that if you served as ombuds for multiple organizations in 2024, we invite you to take the survey again--once for each organizational ombuds role you held.

Should you have any questions about the survey, feel free to reach out to Ellen Miller, IOA Executive Director (emiller@ombudsassociation.org) or survey partners Tim Hedeen (tkhedeen@gmail.com) or Jennifer Schneider (jaschnei@usf.edu).
