The OEGlobal Board of Directors is comprised of members of Open Education Global who provide significant strategic direction and leadership for the organization. Their significant contributions may not always be visible. Recently, the board has been active in sharing their viewpoints and open education interests through an ongoing series of posts in OEG Connect and in episodes of the OEGlobal Voices podcast.
Now, a group of members have stepped forward as candidates for elections this month (September, 2024) to fill five open seats in the next round of elections for the OEG Board. While voting for the board is in the hands of representatives from organizational members, in the spirit of recognition I thought it useful to first thank them, and let the community learn more about these candidates. Let’s get to know them better!
Consider this topic an open discussion for you to ask questions of or let your open education interests known to the candidates. This is also an opportunity for candidates as well to say more to the community about their motivations to be on the board.
Our thanks to the following people who have stepped up with an interest to serve on the OEGlobal Board. Their listed bios, areas of expertise, vision, and OEGlobal ideas provided with the information for the 2024 board election but use this space as an informal place to get to know the 2024 candidates listed below
We included their OEG Connect username so you can see their profiles and contact them directly. Plus, they have all been granted OEG Connect badges as board candidates.
