Board of Directors Application 2025

WPCampus as an organization and as a community are dedicated to the confluence of WordPress and accessibility in higher education. With a mission to advance higher education by providing a support structure and wealth of knowledge and networking for anyone who uses or is interested in using WordPress in the world of higher education, we are seeking new directors.

The WPCampus Board of Directors currently meets 4:00 pm to 5 pm Eastern time on the third Friday of each month. That is, by and large, the only requirement you have to meet should you wish to be a board member. But, WPCampus welcomes people who want to change the world, people who want to be involved, people who want to learn something new, and people who want to share their experiences with a community. We hope director applicants will be excited to get involved more fully than this minimum requirement.
