WERC Board of Directors

We provide a forum for thousands of talent mobility professionals working for corporations, service providers, and governments around the globe. They share their expertise, enhance their skills, meet peers and partners, and influence the future of our industry. WERC is for the people and by the people, and our board of directors is representative of that.

The board of directors leads WERC and is responsible for setting our mission, vision, and strategic direction; ensuring the organization has the necessary resources to carry forth its mission; and providing oversight.

The WERC Board of Directors recognizes the importance of representing the diversity of our global industry. We strive to see diversity, equity, and inclusion in connection with our vision and mission for the benefit of those we serve.

We also believe that a diverse and inclusive board will help shape and support the future of our industry. For purposes of board composition, diversity includes, but is not limited to, business and industry skills and experience, geographic location, gender, and ethnicity.
