Abstract
The Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education (POD) was founded by a small group of pioneering faculty and professional developers who established a support network and became close friends. The subsequent evolution of POD was in the direction of a professional association, as evidenced by its current activities: (1) an annual conference, (2) the expansion of its membership, and (3) the sponsoring of activities which reach beyond the membership.
To assist POD in sensible growth and development, the Professional Relations and Membership Committee was formed and assigned three major functions: (1) to monitor the composition of the POD membership and make recommendations relative to POD's growth and development in accordance with the membership's composition, (2) to explore ways in which POD can interact with other professional organizations in a mutually beneficial manner, and (3) to explore ways in which POD can affect organizations which influence developments in higher education.
