Welcome Members

Members of the Open Education Association have access to dedicated spaces and opportunities that support engagement with the association and its activities. These areas provide ways to participate in working groups, attend events, and engage with others in the field. Members are encouraged to explore these opportunities and take part in the association’s ongoing work. 

Our Work

The Open Education Association was created to strengthen and coordinate open education at a national level. It focuses on building shared infrastructure, expanding visibility, and advancing strategic initiatives that support sustainable, scalable open education work.

Guided by community input, our work centers on increasing visibility in influential spaces, expanding investment and funding pathways, strengthening professional recognition, and responding strategically to barriers that limit openness. These priorities are already shaping our programming—from national visibility efforts and targeted webinars to curated resources and emerging mentorship and recognition initiatives.

This is an active, member-informed effort to ensure open education is not only sustained, but strengthened for the future.
