Our staff
Working from our homes across the U.S., we understand firsthand the challenges of navigating work and personal lives during the pandemic. This has reinforced our commitment to emphasizing lived experience over tech expertise in our hiring.
Please note that NTEN operates on a four-day week, with staff working Monday–Thursday only. We'll respond to emails received on Fridays on the next business day.
Our board
Having personal experience with our mission from many different perspectives makes the work of our board better and our meetings lots more fun. Board members serve three-year terms with a limit of two terms.
