NET volunteers are organized into teams and every team is required to have a Team Leader. A Team Leader is a coach, convener, and community organizer. Team Leaders interface directly with, and represent their community to, PBEM staff. They may also act as the team's "resident trainer", though that responsibility can be delegated to others on the team. In short, Team Leaders prepare and develop their Team Members towards conducting operations in their community immediately following a disaster.

The guidelines for Team Leader election or appointment appear in the NETwiki section titled [[Volunteer Leadership]]. NET Team Leaders are also the only PBEM volunteer position with their own section of Portland City Code: [https://www.portland.gov/code/3/124/090 Chapter 3.124.090].
