SAACI has announced it’s new executive committee: Kim Roberts is the new chairperson and Jaques Fouché the new deputy chairperson, while Denise Kemp and Glenn van Eck remain in their respective positions as public officer and treasurer.
Kim has been a member of SAACI for ten years, and served as head of SAACI’s advisory board and as venues representative for the board. She is a director of Cape-based Mise-en-place Solutions.
Jaques has been a member of SAACI for eight years and is the former Western Cape branch chair. He is general manager at stage and production design company Formative.
Kim says the SAACI board has set firm strategies. “These include facilitating trade and growth in our industry in South and Southern Africa and growing opportunities for our members. We also want to involve our members more and give them a platform to be part of decisions while encouraging them to contribute, discuss and work with us to work for them.”
“The strategy also gives new board members more clarity on where we are heading as well as a clear framework for the recently appointed chief executive officer,” she adds.
