The Business Meeting of the NEALT will be held in conjunction with the NODALIDA-2011 conference in Riga. According to the Constitution of the NEALT, The Business Meeting elects, among other things, the members of the Executive Committee (EC) for the next two-year term which in this case starts on January 1st 2012. The present composition of the EC and the expectations of normal recycling and continuations is as follows:
| POSITION | NAME | TERM AND SUCCESSION | COUNTRY |
| President | Janne Bondi Johannesen | now serves her only term as President and is expected to retire and become a member of the Nominating Committee | NO |
| Vice President | Krister Lind�n | now serves his only term as Vice President as is expected to succeed Bondi Johannesen as the President | FI |
| Secretary | Sjur Moshagen | now serves his first term and is expected to serve the second | NO |
| Treasurer | Joakim Nivre | serves now his second term and is expected to retire | SE |
| Editor in Chief | Mare Koit | now serves her second term and is expected to retire | EE |
| Member | Hanne Faersoe | now serves her only term and is expected to retire | DK |
The association is at its beginning stages and the constitution does not explicitly dictate who will constitute the Nominating Committee at this stage (see item V.7 in the Constitution). Therefore, the Executive Committee has confirmed that the Nomination Committee now consists of Eir�kur R�gnvaldsson as the Chairman (being the former Vice President who retired without succeeding as the President at the end of 2009) and Kimmo Koskenniemi as Member (being the former President who retired at the end of 2009).
