The OEGlobal Board of Directors is made up of passionate members and advocates who help steer Open Education Global forward. Sometimes their work happens behind the scenes, but they’ve been sharing their ideas and interests with us through posts on OEGlobal Connect and the OEGlobal Voices podcast. It’s always inspiring to see their perspectives come to life!
This year, 12 amazing members and advocates have put their hands up for four open seats on the OEGlobal Board.
A huge thank you to everyone below who’s shown interest in serving on the OEGlobal Board! You’ll find their bios, motivations, visions, and ideas for OEGlobal as part of the 2026 board election.
Although voting is up to our organizational member representatives, we want to give a big shout-out to all the candidates. We also thought it would be great for the community to get to know the 2026 candidates better, so we’ve created this informal space to introduce them.

This page is a chance for you to ask questions and for candidates to share more about what drives them and the work they’re doing with our global community. We’ve included their OEGlobal Connect usernames so you can check out their profiles and reach out directly.
This is an open discussion, so feel free to jump in and ask!
