This change in structure, evolved during a training programme for existing trustees.Β  Β The new Board of Trustees will be supported by a Senior Leadership team which will consist of National & Regional Committee Chairs.Β  Previously these roles acted as the trustees of the Association.

This new structure will allow more focus on the strategic development of the Association and Governance.

National Committees

In 2021 six National Committees were formed replacing the former SAYFC National Council. Each committee is led by current members, supported by SAYFC staff to ensure we meet the needs of current and future members.

Each Committee meet a minimum of four times per year, with a mix of Zoom and in person meetings.
