Become a member and join the team
The Forum acts through an independent legal persona as a non-profit organization for the benefit of its members. Our activities are governed by an adopted constitution.
Our financial year ends on the last day of February each year.
The highest decision making body is an annual general meeting of members which is held once a year, within 3 months of the year end. This meeting elects the members of the executive committee, approve changes to the constitution and decide on major policies of the Forum.
The executive committee is responsible for the management of the business of the Forum and meets on a monthly basis.
The executive committee may appoint portfolio holders to co-ordinate and manage certain activities of the Forum.
If we all make a concerted effort to support our local entrepreneurs it will directly uplift and benefit our geographical area. ‘Support Local’ and Gordon’s Bay and its people will reap the rewards. It is my vision for all local Business Owner’s to make an active effort to support each other’s businesses. This is the way forward for us to grow our businesses with success!”
