The Board of Tipperary ETB consists of 21 members:
- 12 local authority nominees,
- Two staff nominees,
- Two parents’ nominees,
- Five members from bodies who, in the opinion of the Minister for Education, have a special interest in or knowledge of education and training, with at least one from community/business, industry and employers.
