Directors and trustees

Our board of non-executive directors and trustees are made up of senior leaders and managers working in UK further and higher education. These experts determine our strategic direction and priorities to reflect the present and future needs of the education and research communities.

They include representatives from our members meaning Jisc is owned and guided by the communities it serves, truly delivering against their priorities.
