What we do

The Communications and Technology Team is led by the Division's appointed Communications Officers and supported by a group of member volunteers. Under the OB Division bylaws, the Communications Officers coordinate all of the Division's communications with members and the wider field, oversee the work of web content subcommittees, and keep members informed through newsletters and division-wide email.

In practice, that work spans six areas:

▸ Administer and maintain the OB Division website

▸ Moderate the OB discussion board

▸ Run the social channels: LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Facebook

▸ Send division-wide email and coordinate newsletters

▸ Promote and support Division events

▸ Build and maintain the Division's digital infrastructure

Everything the OB Division does rests on three priorities: rigor, relevance, and relationships. Communications and technology is where the third one lives day to day, keeping a collaborative, supportive, and inclusive community of scholars connected across more than 60 countries.
