I rely on The Ombuds Blog for information about our professional community. <br />I applaud ACCUO for their definition of Standards of Practice and Functions of an Ombuds. After 15 years of practice as an Ombuds, I am in favor of a dialogue about our functions, granted that one must use such functional roles with wisdom.<br />With warm wishes for a brilliant New Year!<br />Anu RaoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37417991.post-11783589017963492732012-12-19T07:29:20.519-08:002012-12-19T07:29:20.519-08:00I quibble with #3 (the data is old and incomplete)...I quibble with #3 (the data is old and incomplete); but the rest of the list is solid. I think the choice of #1 is spot on! Somehow I missed that announcement from ACCUO, but it is important. Thanks for your editorial comments. I'd personally like to see more opinions from you.<br />-Angry OmbudsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
