Latest news, views and updates from us here at SAOS.
The success of every co‑op depends on how well its directors carry out their roles and responsibilities. SAOS’s Board has a wealth of knowledge and experience, as well as an ambitious vision for our future.
In addition to the Board, we also have a Council, comprising co‑op members from all sectors, and other key industry bodies, which gives us another level of governance and keeps us in touch with wider industry issues.
SAOS, like all co‑ops, is bound by a set of Rules that govern how our co‑op is run. In addition to these, Members of SAOS follow a Board and Council Charter. You can find out more on both these levels of Governance here.
Our team is the key to our success, but we’re also the key to yours. SAOS has never been an organisation to blow its own trumpet, but when it comes to the team we’re happy to.
