You (The Chamber of Engineering Technology) are cordially invited to nominate one or more persons for consideration and possible appointment as member(s) of the Council of the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) in terms of the Engineering Profession Act, 2000 (Act No. 46 of 2000). When nominating, consideration should be given to representivity.
The following should be noted:
1. Voluntary Associations may nominate as many persons as they deem appropriate. Each nomination should be submitted on a separate Nomination Form.
2. Nominees must be registered with the Engineering Council of South Africa, in at least one of the following categories: Professional Engineer, Professional Engineering Technologist, Professional Certificated Engineer, Professional Engineering Technician or a specified category (registration in the candidate category is expressly excluded).
3. Nominees appointed to the Council may not serve for more than two consecutive terms of office.
4. The nominations should be made on the enclosed Nomination Form and be signed by a duly authorised representative, typically the President or Chief Executive.

6. Successful nominees will be appointed in their own right and will not represent his/her Voluntary Association.
7. Since the number of Voluntary Associations and Nominating Bodies far exceed the number of vacancies on Council, serious consideration will be given to the nominees’ expertise, background and ability to represent more than one sector of interest contemplated in section 3 of the Act.
8. All nominees must be South African citizens and be ordinarily resident in the RSA.
9. All nominations, duly completed and signed, must be submitted to the Council (Attention: Mrs Maureen Pillay) at the address provided in this correspondence within 60 days from the date of this letter, that is not later than 28 April 2009. Nominations received after the latter date will not be considered.

11. The Minister retains the discretion to appoint any person who may have been nominated but not recommended. Therefore the names of all the nominees will be presented to the Minister.
12. More detailed information regarding the process can be viewed on ECSA’s Website www.ecsa.co.za just click on “2009 - 2013”.
