Board of Directors Application 2026

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

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