The affairs of SAALED are governed by a National Board elected by its
members. It is financed by subscriptions from members, donations
and fund-raising initiatives.
The money is used to fund the running of the Association, annual conferences,
publications and bursaries.
The organization is managed by a national secretariat
and through the local branch committees in areas where the membership
is active. Individual members are spread across South Africa and
beyond its borders.
All memberships are registered through the National
Office but members will be part of their closest branch of SAALED.
