What is ODI?

Organizational Development Institutes (or ODIs) are AJLI leadership development meetings that provide Junior League members with mission-based training in key areas critical to the healthy functioning of a League.

At ODIs, delegates build organizational capacity by learning about:

• innovative approaches to developing Junior League members as effective volunteer leaders in their communities
• powerful ways to design community programs and partnerships that have significant impact
• strategies for sustainable and diversified fund development
• keys to building strong internal operational controls
• new approaches that enable the League to be governed strategically and effectively
• ways to build relationships, engagement and understanding through marketing and communications
• leading The Junior League to be more diverse and inclusive

ODIs also provide a unique opportunity to meet members of other Leagues and share/discuss best practices.
