We also extend a deep appreciation to the following outgoing Board members for your invaluable input into guiding the Open Education Global forward:
Sophie Touzé, France & Willem van Valkenburg, the Netherlands – remains a President of the Board of Directors (non-voting) until 2021.
OEG looks forward to working with newly elected Board members and all members of the open community on advancing open education around the world over the coming year.
