OCLC Global Council becomes OCLC Leaders Council
On 19 March 2024, OCLC’s Global Council ratified changes to its name and structure. The evolution from OCLC Global Council to OCLC Leaders Council reflects the continuing and natural evolution of OCLC’s council model, while ensuring impactful participation and diverse global perspectives. The new Leaders Council starts in November 2024. Get more information about this change in the press release.
2023–24 Global and Regional Council members
A key benefit of membership is the opportunity to participate in OCLC's governance. Member libraries have a voice through their elected representatives.
