Directors
CRNI is governed by a Board of Directors, made up primarily of volunteers from the membership base.
The Board is responsible for ensuring that the charity is well-managed and abides by its charitable aims. The Board appoints the Network Coordinator, who is responsible for managing the organisation on a day to day basis and reports to the Board at regular CRNI Board Meetings.
The following outlines the current CRNI Directors and the member organisations that they represent:
