Board of Directors role:
The Board of Directors is a group of individuals that either founded the network, is chosen by the Board or Network membership and empowered to carry out certain tasks spelled out in the network's objectives/goals. Primary responsibility of the Board is to ensure that the network's management is performing its job correctly and inline with the governing principles. These powers include appointing patrons, co-opted board members, executive management, maintaining partnerships and executive relationships. TTPNuk's board consists of both inside and outside directors. The inside directors have a significant fiduciary interest in the growth and well-being of the network. Outside directors have a small stake in the network but are members for their business experience and contacts.

Co-opted members of the Board role:
The appointment of co-opted members to the Board plays an important role both in the operation of the Board and Executive committee and also where any external investigations that may be undertaken.
Co-opted members :
- Sit as external members of the Board of Directors
- Provide another perspective or advice to the issue being discussed
- Add to the diversity of knowledge and experience of the Board
- Extend opportunities for public and private sector involvement in TTPNuk
The Board may appoint individuals to be co-opted members who are sympathetic to the TTPNuk’s mission.
Members need to recognise and understand the distinction between executive management of TTPNuk (responsibility for which rests with the Executive Committee) and the role of Board of Directors in providing hi-level strategic oversight and ensuring that adequate control and monitoring arrangements exist to ensure that management is exercising proper stewardship and working towards agreed strategic objectives.
The role of the co-opted member can perhaps be summarised as that of an informed, constructively critical friend of the Board of Directors. They have the power to vote in certain Board issues when required and allowed by the Board.
Board of Directors and Co- opted members remain on the Board for a period of 2 years unless otherwise decided. By quorum, the Board has the power to cease Co-opted member tenure where it is deemed necessary in the interest of TTPNuk. New members are chosen by a quorum of the board and its co-opted members.
The Board of Directors seeks to display best practice in regard to equal opportunities when appointing co-opted members.
