“We are pleased that the new board members are young and energetic. This fresh perspective will bring new ideas and energy to the organisation, ensuring we continue to meet the evolving needs of our community.
“The list of nominated board members has already been submitted to DSD for approval, an essential step in maintaining compliance with governance standards and regulatory requirements.”

Appies said the AGM is being conducted in two phases.
