Chapter 2 : Establishment, Composition, Governance and Functions of NSFAS

13. Meetings of board and committees

 

1) Meetings of the board and its committees must be held at such times and places as may be determined by the chairperson concerned, but the chairperson must convene a meeting of the board at least twice a year or if asked to do so in writing by at least one third of the members of the board or by the Minister, as the case may be.

 

2) Whenever the chairperson is absent from any meeting of the board or a committee, the members present must appoint a person from among themselves to preside at that meeting.

 

3) The board may make rules relating to the procedure at meetings of the board and its committees, including the quorum for such meetings, and any other matter necessary or expedient for the performance of the functions of the board or its committees.

 

4) The proceedings at a meeting of the board or of a committee are not invalid by reason only of the fact that a vacancy exists on the board or such committee, as the case may be, at the time of such meeting.
