Governance
NETA is governed by a board of directors
composed of the general manager or
designee from each member
licensee and an elected representative from each of the seven
professional councils and one elected
representative from the affiliate members. NETA's
unique board structure gives each member's concerns
an equal hearing. In the aggregate, NETA's board represents almost half of the public television licensees.
