Board, Committees, Working Groups and Officers

The Board of Directors has the power to delegate certain functions to committees and / officers. Certain committees and officers are required by law and are therefore referred to as ‘statutory committees and officers’ (e.g. Credit Committee, Credit Control Committee, Membership Committee and Nominations Committee).
