Board of Directors

NECAC is governed by a volunteer 36-member Board of Directors and managed by a full time President and Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Directors is composed of three representatives from each of the 12 counties served. Each county is represented by a Public Elected Official Representative, one Civic Interest Representative and one Low-Income Representative.

One-third of the board members are:

• Public Elected Official Representative
• Civic Interest Representative
• Low-Income Representative

This organizational structure ensures local decision-making control  and accountability, as well as the ability to develop programs to  operate and set policy and administrative procedures to ensure the  needs of the dis-advantaged are met. The local board involvement  also ensures granting officials and tax-payers that program goals and requirements are achieved efficiently.
