How the North East LEP is governed

We are governed by our Board which is comprised of business leaders, education providers, economic experts and local authorities. It is at the North East LEP Board meetings that all of our key decisions are made.

You can view meeting agendas and minutes along with a register of interests for our Board members here.

We also have an investment board and three advisory boards to drive forward our delivery programmes while our executive team is responsible for the day-to-day delivery of each programme.

Up to 31 March 2020, the North East Combined Authority (NECA) provided the formal accountability and scrutiny arrangements for the North East Local Enterprise Partnership. Minutes from the NECA Scrutiny and Audit Committee meetings attended by the North East LEP can be accessed here. Financial accounts for the North East Local Enterprise Partnership up to the 2019/20 financial year are also available on the North East Combined Authority’s website.

From 01 April 2020, the North of Tyne Combined Authority (NTCA) will provide the formal accountability and scrutiny arrangements for the North East Local Enterprise Partnership.
