Node and Branch heads
Each node is led by a Head of Node, and each branch by a Branch Head.
The Heads of Nodes work closely with the Director to ensure that each node contributes meaningfully to NITheCS’s strategic vision. Under each Head of Node, Branch Heads manage the activities of their respective institutions.
