New SAFREA executive for 2010/11 term

9 Apr 2010

The Southern African Freelancers' Association (SAFREA) recently elected a new executive council, as well as regional committees for Gauteng, Western Cape, Eastern Cape and Free State. Northwest, KwaZulu-Natal and Zimbabwe also have representatives on the executive council.

On 31 March 2010, the council elected an executive committee to be responsible for the day-to-day management of SAFREA in this term. This committee is chaired by Clive Lotter for a second term and comprises Gareth Griffiths (Vice-chair), Kerry Simpson (Executive Secretary), Justin Wolff (Treasurer), Georgina Guedes (Membership), Tiffany Markman (Training and mentorship), Gwen Watkins (PR) and Fiona Zerbst (Online).

In line with its new constitution, the members nominated an Oversight Committee consisting of Shaz Davis (Convenor), Gavin Chait, Bruce Cooper and Ray Joseph.

The association's key focus for 2010/11 will be to encourage more freelance workers in the communications field who are writers, photographers, editors, proofreaders, graphic designers, illustrators, researchers, translators and other experts in communication to join it.

The association, founded in 1999, promotes the interests of freelance media specialists, to raise their professional standing and to make working as a freelancer more rewarding. In February 2010, it signed an agreement with United Associations of South Africa (UASA) to provide union representation to members. Go to www.safrea.co.za for more information.
