With our first project behind us and a growing group of member-owners who want to put their collective capital to work to improve our community, NEIC is poised to make great strides in the coming years. 

The board currently meets from 7-9 pm on the fourth Monday of every month.  Feel free to come to a board meeting and find out whether board service is right for you.
