Board of Trustees
One of the key elements to upholding governance standards is the Board of Trustees' attitude towards governance and compliance. The Board of Trustees and the Principal Executive Officer are committed to the execution of their fiduciary duty towards the Fund and its members.
The fund is managed by an 11-member Board of Trustees, elected in terms of the Rules of the Fund to direct, control and oversee the operations of the fund as per the applicable legislation and the provisions of the Fund Rules.
Ten trustees are elected from various provinces and/or regions of the country according to membership representation from these provinces/regions and one trustee is appointed by the South African Local Government Association (SALGA). The Board of Trustees is charged with governance of the fund.
In order to effectively manage the fund, the Board makes use of committees to which some functions and authority of the Board are delegated. The committees are; the Executive Committee, the Investment Committee, the Legal Committee and the Communications & Stakeholder Management Committee.
The Board of Trustees and the respective committees meet regularly to conduct the business of the fund and to give effect to each committee's specific duties and responsibilities.
