General responsibilities of Board Members

  • The Board of Directors is charged with setting the strategic direction of Open Education Global. Board members make high level decisions concerning the mission, outputs, finances, and services of Open Education Global. Board members are expected to act in the best interests of the organization and its members in all deliberations.
  • To fulfill its charge, the Board will hold four meetings a year, two of which will be in person (situation permitting) and two online. Virtual participation during in-person meetings may be arranged to accommodate those who cannot travel. It is important that board members make every attempt to fully participate in all meetings. While substitutions are permitted if necessary, the substitute will not be allowed to vote on the Board member's behalf.
  • The Board member's institution is expected to cover the cost of the Board member's travel to meetings and time that is given to OEG. Individual members of the Board are also expected to cover the cost of travel to meetings and time that is given to OEG.
  • The Board, or its sub-committees, conducts some business between in-person meetings. Board members should anticipate doing Board related work between Board meetings including online synchronous and asynchronous activities.
  • Likewise, it is anticipated that Board members will serve as liaisons with various standing committees and work groups, and will represent the Organization from time to time at various meetings and/or events.

I AM AWARE THAT BOARD MEMBERS EXPEND CONSIDERABLE NON-REIMBURSED TIME AND MONEY IN THE FULFILLMENT OF THEIR DUTIES. I ATTEST THAT I HAVE THE CONSENT OF THE NOMINEE IN THIS MATTER. I ALSO ATTEST THAT THE NOMINEE IS QUALIFIED AND ABLE TO SERVE IF ELECTED.
