Leadership

NETAC is a Collective Impact initiative established by its Founding Steering Committee (below) in 2022-23.

Today, NETAC is led by a Leadership Team that guides the efforts of Working Groups with support from a Backbone Organization, the Community Engagement Lab. 

Over 250 arts and community leaders from across New England have engaged in the design of NETAC’s mission, vision, and strategic framework.

NETAC working groups are forming in 2024 to begin implementing programming in 2025.
