Trustee Board Members
NCVYS members elect a Trustee Board who take responsibility for deciding the strategic direction of NCVYS's work. Trustees are elected for periods of three years. Trustees are recruited on the basis of the skills they bring, rather than affiliation to a NCVYS member. Two of the nine positions are reserved for young trustees. At least five trustees are nominated by the NCVYS membership.
