New EXSA board announced

EXSA is thrilled to announce the board structure for 2024.

Kelly Papas, Daksha Vallabh, Gabi Babinszky, and Beert Kuiken stepped down as board members. We would like to thank them for the work and effort that they have contributed to the EXSA board. We have achieved many successes with them aboard, steering the ship in the right direction.

Four members were co-opted onto the board for their specific set of skills to work on various working groups. Gavin Burgess, Kimendrie Pillay, and Ross Wilson have moved from a co-opted position to an official director position. This creates continuity on the board and will ensure that projects undertaken will be seen to completion. Congratulations to all three directors.

Two new nominations were made for Steve Marsden and Daniel Chemel. They have gladly been co-opted onto the board and will work on a variety of working groups which will aid EXSA in achieving their goals.

There were also two new Working groups added due to capacity and growth within the association. The Gauteng working group will be chaired by Kerry-Lee Bester and will focus on shows in Gauteng. The Events working group was added as more eventing companies are coming on board. Lee-Ann and Ross Wilson will be working on this group and urge any interested members to please get involved with this group.

The Board structure is as follows:

Sibusiso Mncwabe – EXSA Chairperson

Jacqui Nel – EXSA Vice-Chairperson

Ishmael Atanasi – EXSA Treasurer
