Where possible and appropriate, these candidates will be invited to serve in the Committees to gain experience with SAMH.
All newly appointed and reappointed members are required to accept the appointment(s) from the Nomination Committees. The appointments of elected members are approved at the AGM and the appointment of office bearers and members of the Committees are approved by the Board.
