in 2019 and soon after identified and convened a regional Open Education Advisory Committee , composed of higher education leaders representing the six New England states ( Connecticut , Maine , Massachusetts , New Hampshire , Rhode Island & Vermont) , and New Jersey , New York , and Pennsylvania . We express our gratitude to these individuals who have generously given their time and expertise to help us identify our priorities as we collaborate across our region to assist in and build upon coordinated state initiatives , develop policy frameworks , and share best practices with the goal to broaden the awareness and integration of open education in the Northeast. This group provided constructive feedback on how to update the original 2020 publication , Open education policies in the northeast: A regional analysis , suggested models and best practices .  \nWe extend our sincere gratitude to our colleagues at our sister compacts , Southern Regional Education Board ( SREB) , Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education (WI CHE) , and Midwest Higher Education Compact ( MHEC) , whose insight , generosity , and partnership have greatly strengthened NEBHE ’s work in open education . Their willingness to share lessons learned , exchange ideas , and navigate challenges together has enriched our regional efforts and reinforced the value of cross-compact collaboration . We are grateful for their continued support.  \nWe thank the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation for generously supporting this work and for its longstanding commitment to advancing open education . Finally , we are deeply grateful to the faculty , staff, and students across the Northeast whose experiences , insights , and dedication continue to inform and inspire this work. Their contributions remain at the heart of every effort to expand access to high-quality learning materials .  \nOPEN EDUCATION IN THE NORTHEAST  \nAbout NEBHE  \nFounded in 1955 by six visionary New England governors who recognized that the region 's future prosperity depended on higher education , the New England Board of Higher Education ( NEBHE) has since worked to promote greater educational opportunities across New England. NEBHE advances equitable postsecondary outcomes through convening , research and programs for students , institution leaders and policymakers . Our vision is that everyone in New England will have lifelong access to affordable , high-value postsecondary education.
