EXCO Committee nominations
There are six positions on the committee that need to be filled. In terms of clause 4.2 of the PPA Constitution, nomination of candidates for election to the Executive Committee shall be in writing, signed by the member as well as the proposer (both being paid-up members of the Association) and accompanied by the written consent of the candidate nominated, to be emailed to info@pedalpower.org.za no later than 16h00 on Thursday, 14 September 2023. Only paid-up members of the Association may vote at the AGM in terms of clause 4.2.1 of the PPA constitution.
However, we urge members to submit nominations soonest so that they can be uploaded to the PPA website prior to the meeting, giving members sufficient time to consider such applications to the Committee. Nomination forms are available upon request from info@pedalpower.org.za. The Chairman of the meeting may, in his sole discretion, allow nominees to the Committee to consent to their nomination at the meeting itself, if, in his opinion, there are special grounds therefore and provided the nomination was received timeously. This means that the chairman cannot accept a late nomination, only a late consent to a nomination. Voting cannot be done by proxy.

Being a CA(SA) – aid and guide with implementing structure and governance of the association and assist in prioritising focus points. Support the current treasurer with his duties in overlooking the finances especially in this tough economic environment. Potentially take over from treasurer to relief him from reporting duties for him to focus on other strategic points. Focus on promoting cycling amongst the average working women. Creating environment where women can feel safe and comfortable and create a community of women’s cyclists. Ensuring necessary facilities to cater for women’s needs at events. Organizing and scheduling “busses” especially for women to ride together from various pick-up points.I am already involved with the ILOVEBOOBIES non-profit organisation which promotes cycling and cycling apparel for a good cause. Potential synergies exist between the two organisations which can be explored."
