Board of Directors Roles and Funding
NETS’ Board members include senior level executives from public and private sector organizations with strong commitments to creating a solid safety culture by promoting road safety policies and awareness activities in their workplaces and communities. Private Sector board member companies provide annual financial support to NETS based on total global employee headcount. NHTSA and NIOSH participate as federal liaisons to the board. Directors set NETS’ strategy, policies, and research agenda. Participation on the board often fulfills an organization’s corporate and community service commitment and enhances an organization’s visibility within the public and private sectors through positive media exposure.
