Aside from the board of directors who govern SACA, and who are dispersed all across the country, SACA has another presence in the form of a Chair in each of five South African regions. Each region has its own decentralised organisation structure, consisting of a chair, vice-chair, secretary etc. Each region has the ability to host and run their own functions, events and other SACA-endorsed work throughout the year.
