PRESIDENT & CEO
“I HAVE A DREAM” FOUNDATION
Eugena Oh has been serving as the President & CEO of the “I Have A Dream” Foundation,
and has been responsible for leading the national education nonprofit in setting and achieving
its vision of opportunity for all, regardless of the circumstances of one’s birth. She has deeply
believed in educational equity and has been excited to be working with the passionate team
at the national office, its volunteer leaders, and its affiliates and Dreamers, to create positive
social change.��
As the child of Korean immigrants who were first-generation college graduates, and a firstgeneration
American college graduate herself, Oh has understood that education – and in
particular higher education – is key to achieving one’s professional and personal dreams.��
Since joining “I Have A Dream” in 2011, Oh has served in several roles including most recently
as Chief Operating Officer. Prior to joining “I Have A Dream”, Oh practiced commercial and
products liability law, and served in development, strategy, and operations roles within several
non-profit organizations, including Teach For America – New York City, Rock The Vote, and
Washington State Court Appointed Special Advocates.
Oh’s personal honors include being honored as a «Trailblazer» by the Korean American
Lawyers’ Association of Greater NY (2019), being named to New York Non-Profit Media’s
inaugural class of 40 Under 40 Rising Stars (2015), and receiving the University of
Pennsylvania’s Asian Alumni Association’s Outstanding Alumna Award (2008). She also serves
on the University of Pennsylvania’s Alumni Board of Directors. She has enjoyed reading,
relaxing with her family, and drinking wine with her girlfriends in person or over Zoom, as
necessary.
