About the SAU
The Current Executive
The SAU is managed by members, for and on behalf of members. All who sit on the Executive Committee do so on a voluntary basis and give of their time because they believe in the organisation and its aims. At least four Office Bearers are required by our constitution, which limits the size of the whole committee to twenty members.
We would urge any member who thinks they can spare a few hours a month to consider putting their name forward for inclusion on the Committee list, or to attend one of our meetings as an Observer. Please use the Contact page to get in touch.
