The WNA is governed by its Board of Management, which is elected by the membership and sets WNA policies and strategic objectives, subject to approval by the full membership.
The Board oversees the Association's budget and operations, makes recommendations for consideration by the full WNA membership, and instructs the Director General on the membership's behalf.
To ensure balance, the 13-member Board has at least two members from each of the three categories of WNA institutional membership: supplier, generator and general.
The Board's Chairman, elected by the full membership, is Andy White of GE and the Vice Chairman is Ralf Güldner of AREVA NP.
To facilitate the Board's representation of the WNA's entire institutional membership, each Board member performs liaison with a certain portion of the membership in a way designed to give every WNA member a direct channel to the Board.
The Board convenes at least three times each year, and Board members communicate frequently via the WNA secretariat.
