• Fund-raising
• Power of appointment
• Appointment of sub-committees
• Purchase or acquisition of movable or immovable assets
• Management of Society’s investments and cash resources
• Legal proceedings
• Fees, subscriptions, and levies
• Financial records
• Accounts
• General work

These board members will replace those who have served their four-year term and those who have not made themselves available for re-elections that will take place in August.

Those who are interested in volunteering can send an email to cm@ithembasupport.org.za, marked for the attention of Jacques van Heerden who is the current chairperson.

The source of the advertisement should be quoted in your application.
