Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) is scheduled to take place in May/June 2024, on a date still to be confirmed.

As part of the preparations of the AGM, the nominations for non-executive directors need to be finalised for nominations to be put to the AGM.

Your Company is hereby invited to submit nominations for non-executive directors to serve on the Board of The Italian-South African Chamber of Trade and Industries NPC (“ItalChamSA”).

The eligibility criteria for a nomination to be accepted, are as follows:

• Paid up membership of ItalChamSA

• Relevant board experience or sector experience and expertise required of a person eligible for appointment to a Board of Directors

• Availability to attend board meetings and participate in the strategic management of ItalChamSA

• The candidate must be a senior legal representative of a member company

• As ItalChamSA’s main objects are to promote and develop trade, commercial, tourist and other interests between South Africa and Italy, either the member company must be Italian-owned (or its majority shareholder should be of Italian nationality) or the member company’s  appointee must be of Italian nationality

• We would encourage female applications in order to foster diversity on our Board

In terms of the MOI, the Nominations Committee of the ItalChamSA Board will interview prospective nominees to assess the qualifications, experience and suitability of any person who has applied or is proposed to be admitted as a Director on the Board in order to fill a particular vacancy with the set of skills required by the Board from time to time.

ItalChamSA is a non-profit company and the directors are not remunerated for their services to the Board.

All nominations must be submitted to the Secretary General, with an updated Curriculum Vitae, by replying to this email address (sg@italcham.co.za) by no later than end of February.
