Board of Directors

Ultimate responsibility for SAOGA rests with our Board of Directors. With the exception of the Executive Director, Board members are unpaid volunteers who desire to give something back to the industry by contributing time and skill to the Alliance and its mission. Board members are drawn from the ranks of SAOGA's public and private stakeholders and the Board has been structured to be representative of the various industry sub-sectors and key public sector stakeholders. Board members typically meet quarterly and serve a three year term for a maximum of two consecutive terms. A subset of the Board serves on the Executive Committee which meets more frequently and provides oversight of the organisation's operational matters.
