NEBHE’s 48-member Board of Delegates is composed of education leaders appointed by their states to fulfill the mission of regional collaboration benefiting each New England state and the region.

NEBHE convenes stakeholders across the region to address access to and affordability of public and independent institutions.  Our Legislative Advisory Committee strengthens state higher education policymaking in New England, promotes regional dialogue and greater interstate collaboration, and
informs NEBHE’s policy analysis, research and program activities.
