It is a cross-party organisation, with all of its Members democratically elected and accountable politicians.
Detailed description:

Its role in shaping, developing and implementing policy seeks to reflect the diversity of communities across the region, rural and urban, from Berwick-upon-Tweed to Middlesbrough.
