South African Translators' Institute - Structure

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)
