Structure
The Institute is run by an executive comprising a chairperson, vice-chairperson, secretary, registrar and treasurer.
The following committees have also been set up to guide the Institute's activities: Training, Publicity, Mentorship, Interpreter Accreditation, Website, Ethics and Constitutional.
SATI office-bearers and committee members work on a voluntary basis. Members of the executive are elected at an annual general meeting for a period of two years.
Members of SATI may establish regional and subject-specific chapters. There is presently only one chapter, namely the regional chapter Boland (in the Western Cape). Until recently there were also regional chapters for Gauteng and for KwaZulu-Natal and an interpreters’ chapter. In times past, there were also regional chapters for the Eastern Cape and Potchefstroom (in the North-West).

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“It is difficult even to choose the adjective
For this blank cold, this sadness without cause.
The great structure has become a minor house.
No turban walks across the lessened floors.
The greenhouse never so badly needed paint.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature.”
—Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)
“If rightly made, a boat would be a sort of amphibious animal, a creature of two elements, related by one half its structure to some swift and shapely fish, and by the other to some strong-winged and graceful bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
