NEaT is run by an elected board. The board is elected by our annual general meeting, usually in April. The board elected at the 2025 AGM will serve until the 2026 AGM.

NEaT’s activities are run by our committees. Any member can join one or more of the committees. If you are interested in volunteering, contact us by email.
