New constitutional and organisational arrangements on the cards

 

 

The license agreement between Turnaround Management Association - Southern Africa and TMA international, replacing the Chapter arrangement, necessitates a rewrite of the Articles of Association and By-laws.

This affords us the opportunity to make other necessary changes to better fit our strategic and operational needs, including a new format Board of Directors and office-bearing functions.

But first of all, the planned AGM in June 2006, and the associated election of new directors and office bearers for 2007, had to be postponed as a result.

The Board has accepted a proposal for a streamlined new organisational structure in which the functions will be redefined and the number of executive directors will be reduced. 

The number of non-executive directors will be increased to make up the numbers.  TMA-SA requires time to identify and recruit a number of prominent and influential BEE business leaders to fill these non-executive positions to ensure credibility with and support from government structures.

The revised Articles of Association, By-laws and organisational structure are being prepared and will be submitted to members for approval at a general meeting of members called around September 2006.

Once approved, an election will be arranged to elect new Board members and office bearers for 2007.
