Welcome to our new Board of Trustees!

We were delighted to see the extent of member interest and the number of new candidates who made themselves available. To those who did not make it this year, we hope to see you again in 2018.

During the course of 2014, the Scheme saw a number of Trustees either leave the Scheme or step aside due to work commitments.

These changes left the Scheme with vacant Alternate Trustee positions that could not be filled. As a result, the Board of Trustees decided to reduce the number of Alternate Trustees to two member-elected and two employer-appointed Alternate Trustees.

We would like to express our thanks and appreciation to all the outgoing Trustees: Gavin Preston, Lin Sanford, Philip Chetty, Alvin Masarira, Palesa Vatsha, Joanna Stanley and Bernie Switala. We are sad to lose experienced and committed Trustees who have contributed to the regions, Committees and the Board.

To Saleh Mayet we say a special word of thanks for your commitment, interest and the leadership you have shown the Scheme over many years.

I am sure I echo many members in thanking Mary Farrell, who will now serve as an Alternate Trustee, for her unwavering commitment to the Scheme and extensive participation in the Committees.

Please join us in welcoming the new Board of Trustees for the next three-year term. It gives us great pleasure to introduce Matthew Welz, who is new to the Board and David Abramowitz, our new Alternate Trustee. Congratulations to Sharon Hosking, previously an Alternate and who will now serve as full Trustee on the Board.
