VOTING MEMBERSHIP

Two types of voting membership:

1. Dignitas Associates (open membership):

Voting members (individuals or representatives of public/private enterprises) who endorse the Institute's vision, mission principles and goals to establish dignity in the workplace. They  elect to become a voting members and exercise the vote at the Annual General Meeting. Dignitas Associates pay an annual membership fee.

It makes good sense for the Dignitas Associates to be South Africans to enable them to attend the meetings and therefore payment will be in the South African rand currency. There are three types of Dignitas Associates:

• (a) MICRO - Individual & Representative of NPO's or Small Business  with an annual turnover of less than R5 million (micro-enterprises). The membership fee is paid by the individual or the enterprise employing the individual pays his/her membership fee.  Membership fee - R1,500 p.a. .
   

• (b) SME - Representative from Organisations/ Businesses (Public and Private Enterprises) with an annual turnover of more than R5 million to R35 million (small and medium enterprises). The enterprise employing the individual pays his/her membership fee: Membership fee - R2,500 p.a..
   

• (c) LARGE - Representative from Organisations/ Businesses (Public and Private Enterprises) with an annual turnover of MORE than R35 million (large enterprises). The enterprise employing the individual pays his/her membership fee: Membership fee - R3,500 p.a. .

Only one individual may represent an enterprise, business or organisation irrespective of its size. At least three, but at all times at least 10% of Dignitas Associates will be elected to the Board to present this category of membership.
 

2. Founding Members (closed membership) 
Persons (who may elect to represent businesses, public or private enterprises) who  accepted an invitation by the Founder (Dr S M Steinman), to be a member serving on the Board of the Institute with a right to vote, pay an annual fee and fully subscribe to the rules governing voting membership. Founding Members are permanent members of the Board.
