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).
