Membership
Membership Categories
The SAIF has three membership categories:
Full Members
These members need to hold a recognised forestry qualification from either a University or a Technikon and have been engaged in forestry for a period of at least three years.
Retired Members
This category is open to all people who have retired from the forestry industry.
Student Members
Registered students studying towards a forestry degree or diploma
Application for Membership
The process of applying for membership requires the submission of an application form signed by a Branch Chair or Branch committee member. The application is then referred to the next council meeting. The candidate is informed by the secretary of the decision in writing. If sucessful, the candidate's membership is not confirmed until membership fees have been received. Should payment not be received within two months of notification the council may declare the election null and void.
If you would like to become a member of the SAIF, print out the application form, fill it in and get it signed by three members, then forward onto the Secretariat. Any other information with regard to membership, feel free to contact the Secretariat who will forward you the necessary documentation and information.
