Provide leadership in coordinating and growing the NBN

Why? Providing leadership for the NBN is key to ensuring that the Network as a whole is supported in all aspects from sending and managing data on the NBN Gateway to networking opportunities. Having a strong leadership role from within the Trust will ensure that information can be shared, joint funding and contracts can be negotiated and all partners can work together to achieve the aims of the NBN Strategy.
