The Board
To be or not to be… on the NEST board? For these bold students, the answer is always ‘to be.’ Not for applause, but to ensure the show goes on. With wit as sharp as a soliloquy and dedication as deep as a Shakespearean plot twist, these members keep our grand association running, one act at a time.

Chair
The duties of the chair include the preparation of agendas, leading the meetings, keep track of the association, ensure that the taken decisions are implemented and representing the association. Next to this, they create a safe environment for their fellow board members and are a visible and approachable figurehead of the association.
Secretary
The secretary is responsible for taking minutes, keeping track of correspondence, the care of the archives and keeping the membership and mailing list. Furthermore the secretary checks if every member has paid their association fee. The secretary is the main contact person for members, trust people and directors on personal and theatre-related matters.
Treasurer
The task of the treasurer is to take care of all financial activities connected to the association. The treasurer sets up the budget at the beginning of the financial year, for the members to approve. Throughout the year, the treasurer maintains the cash register, handles declarations, invoices, subsidy applications, and the financial contact with new sponsors.
Commissioner of Productions
The Commissioner of Productions is mainly responsible for all the things that are directly related to the production of the shows. This spans from communication with directors and members to the organisation of shows and rooms and the contact with Vrijhof Culture and Events as well as the Technology department. Additionally, the Commissioner of Productions is the head of crew and the main contact person for PCs.
