The objectives include a Diversifying Offer that responds to the challenges of society, the strengthening of Strategic Alliances, responding to the call of UNESCO that in 2022 invited higher education to commit to more results in the Contribution to the SDGs. and Organizational Excellence that guarantees greater efficiency in our management.<\/p>\n

We have therefore embarked on a major consultation process led by our governing bodies and work teams, with the valuable collaboration of a 12-member Advisory Council from our nine regions and the input of more than 200 higher education institutions that responded to the call through surveys and regional meetings.<\/p>\n

On behalf of all parties involved, I am proud to present the IOHE 2023-2030 Strategic Plan which is both the result of a reflection and analysis of our organizational past, combined with a projection towards innovative and diversified lines of work, always oriented towards the needs and priorities of our members. Our vision is clear: to strengthen IOHE\u2019s relevance as the leading association for the internationalization of higher education in the Americas. Join us!<\/p>\n

Member institutions, represented by its legal representative, together make up the General Assembly, the supreme decision-making body of the Organization.<\/p>\n

It is comprised of 13 experienced members who typically sit at the head some of the largest universities in their respective countries.<\/p>\n

The Board of Directors strives to maintain a balanced representation of public, private, cooperative and denominational universities from across the Americas.<\/p>\n

Each of the nine IOHE regions is under the responsibility of a Regional Council, presided over by a Vice President who serves a renewable two-year term. They provide support for the President, the General-Secretariat, and the Executive Directors of IOHE programs, which together form the Executive Committee.<\/p>\n
