SGT Governance
The SGT Network is governed by the SGT Board which is elected bi-annually by the SGT General Assembly. The board consists of a chair, a secretary, a treasurer and three committees – the communication committee, the event committee and the committee of trust. The chair, the secretary, the treasurer and the three committee chairs together form the SGT Executive Board that is responsible for the day to day operations of the SGT Network.
