Ombuds Public Service Initiatives

As part of MWI’s public service initiatives, MWI offers free and discounted conference and organizational ombuds services to non-profit organizations. When an employee or conference attendee needs to speak with an impartial, independent, informal, and confidential resource about a concern, MWI is committed to ensuring that people have access to ombuds, regardless of the ability of the organization to pay for the service. As such, MWI is proud to offer the public services listed below.
