OGC Board of Directors

 

The OGC Board of Directors represents leadership from many disciplines and regions of the world. OGC Directors are dedicated to achieving the OGC vision, providing their professional expertise to the advancement of Consortium objectives. OGC Directors serve as individuals representing the needs of their sectors - they do not represent their organizations of employment.

The OGC Board has also created the OGC Global Advisory Council as a committee of the board to function as a non-executive, "blue-ribbon" panel positioned to advise OGC concerning its global outreach and organizational strategies. This team is comprised of leaders in infrastructure development, government and industry who will help shape and focus regional activities throughout the world.
