In terms of the association's constitution, the board shall comprise a maximum of 11 elected directors plus the executive director (making a total of 12 board directors). In addition, the board may co-opt up to a maximum of five members to act as co-opted directors.

There are four vacancies needing to be filled. Two nominations are automatically listed from the director standing down for re-election, Bonang Mohale and the previously co-opted member, Noah Greenhill.

Board nominations

The board is calling for nominations to fill the two director vacancies. The criteria are that the nominee must be an employee of a corporate member of the association and that this nominee must occupy a position of marketing director or equivalent. This ruling by the board will ensure that the board is constituted along economic sector lines (as required by the constitution) and that individual members will be represented by two directors who have been elected specifically to serve that constituency.

The first meeting of the newly elected and confirmed board of directors will be held immediately after the close of the AGM.

Members wishing to submit electronic questions, suggestions or votes before 18 July, RSVPs must be submitted before 22 July and signed and accepted nominations must be received before 27 July. All correspondence may be emailed to az.oc.asgnitekram@ofni.
