Welcoming your new Board of Trustees

The 2024 Trustee elections have concluded, and we extend our gratitude to all members who participated in this process by nominating and voting for Trustees.

The election process

The nomination process commenced on 26 January 2024, followed by the voting phase, which concluded on 29 April 2024, after which an independent election audit took place. A total of 17 Nominees participated, and 2 077 votes were received. We are pleased to share that Strachan & Crouse, the independent auditors we engaged for the election process, confirmed that based on the procedures conducted and the absence of any discrepancies identified, it can be confirmed that all Nominees met eligibility requirements, the voting process maintained integrity for a fair outcome and the verification of voting results confirmed accuracy in the election outcome.

The elected Trustees who will guide our Scheme in the coming term are:

• Joe Coetzer
• Colleen Elliott

A wealth of experience

We are thankful for our Board's continuity and our Trustees' experience. Our new Board of Trustees have 94 years of collective experience in Scheme leadership and serving AMS members. Their expertise also extends beyond AMS, as many have contributed to other medical schemes and/or pension funds.
