Our Board of Trustees
Our Board of Trustees has oversight of our strategic direction, agrees the forward plans and monitors our operational activity. The Board is responsible for ensuring that we maintain our licence to operate from Ofqual and from the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education.
Board members bring their skills, experience and knowledge to bear on the work of Open Awards and help the organisation to meet its mission and vision. We're always pleased to hear from people interested in joining our Board or one of its committees. If you feel that you would like to become involved then please contact Anita Till.
