Vacancies

Shape the Future of Our Governance

Call for Independent Nominations Committee (NomCom) Members

We are actively expanding our Nominations Committee (NomCom) and invite expressions of interest from members who would like to serve as independent committee members. This supports our Chapter’s ongoing transition to a strategic governing board model, where objectivity, transparency, and independence are at the heart of good governance.

Unlike our Executive Officer roles, NomCom is not an operational leadership position. The commitment is relatively light, typically requiring only a few hours each month, with slightly increased involvement during recruitment and election periods. It offers a meaningful way to contribute to the future of our Chapter without a significant ongoing time commitment.

If you’re passionate about ethical governance, fair processes, and strengthening the coaching profession in South Africa, we’d love to hear from you.

Why This Matters

NomCom holds a crucial governance mandate: it is independently empowered to oversee, design, and run all recruitment, election, and appointment processes for Chapter Leaders and Directors. To safeguard our objectivity during upcoming high-profile elections, we are recruiting additional independent member representatives who sit completely outside of current operational board roles.

The Key Criterion: Absolute Independence

Independence is the absolute benchmark for this role. We are looking for members who possess:
- No current operational conflicts of interest or dual portfolio duties within the active Chapter leadership.
- A strong commitment to ethical frameworks, professional standards, and procedural fairness.
- Prior experience or interest in governance, human resource placement, legal compliance, or institutional oversight (advantageous but not mandatory).

Role Expectations & Commitment

Appointed members will join the committee to support the vetting and administration of the upcoming 2026 Presidential election and future Executive Officer appointments. This is a high-impact, non-executive volunteer role that helps safeguard the integrity of our Chapter’s governance. While there is naturally greater involvement during recruitment periods, the role typically requires only a few hours per month, making it an accessible and meaningful way to contribute.

How to Apply

If you are passionate about upholding the highest ethical standards of King IV and the Companies Act within our coaching ecosystem, please submit your brief expression of interest profile via our secure portal.

Closing Date: Submissions close on Friday, 7 August 2026 at 17:00.

Help us build an objective, robust foundation for the future of professional coaching in South Africa.
