ITNEA
Association for Non Executive Directors and Chairmen - NEDs / Independent Directors
Welcome to ITNEA
ITNEA is the UK association for non-executive Directors (NEDs /NXDs) and Chairmen of listed IT, Telecommunications and related Media companies - some times also referred to as Telecommunication, Media and Technology (TMT) or Information & Computing Technology (ICT) companies.
ITNEA - Information and TMT Non-Executives' Association
ITNEA in brief* ITNEA has over 450 members, holding well over 2000 directorships between them.
* These directorships range from private start-ups to FTSE 100 companies, in most sectors, both UK and international.
* The common thread is that to qualify for membership, members must hold a non-executive directorship or Chairmanship of a quoted technology company (or an executive directorship of such where the person has or wants a non-exec role, as well).
* There is no charge to join ITNEA, or to attend the events, thanks to the support of our sponsors.
* We typically hold 2-3 dinner meetings a year and occasional lunches , with 50-60 members attending each time.
* Member communication is done by email, for speed and the convenience of all concerned.
The objectives of the Association are to:
* Networking: Act as a networking forum for non-executive directors and chairmen, giving them the opportunity to meet and discuss the particular issues faced in these roles with others in similar positions - in the context of technology businesses and listed companies.
* Non Executive Director and Chairman appointment opportunities: Provide members with information on non executive director and chairman and related appointments through an advertising service open to companies and their advisors and agents. For further information see:- NED Recruitment or Chairman Recruitment - advertising and search
* Lobbying: Draw to members' attention important lobbying opportunities, where issues that will effect them or their companies are under review.

The NED advertising service is used to seek non executive directors, chairman and related roles in listed and un listed companies as well as for other relevant opportunities.
Those seeking to recruit non executive chairmen and/or directors or for other roles with a similar candidate profile, the ITNEA provides a highly focused non executive director advertising and search / recruitment service for companies and their agents. This helps you in searching for a non executive director or chairman (or for other roles relevant to our members' TMT and board experience) - NED search / NED advertising. As most members have experience in the listed and unlisted sectors the service can be used for director roles in either sectors or for other roles seeking similarly qualified individuals. For members seeking further NED appointments the ITNEA provides information on companies who are seeking to recruit candidates from the membership.
