Our Board

YNOT is governed by an 11 member skills based Board elected at the Annual General Meeting. An annual skills and experience audit is conducted to ensure the Board is representative and the needs of the organisation are best met.

The Board is comprised of individual and organisational representatives who are full YNOT members drawn from all regions of the state, including a combination of young people and service providers.
