Board Nomination and Renewal

KWSH recognises the importance of having a qualified and competent Board to achieve the mission and vision of KWSH.

The Board is committed to ensuring that proper nomination and election processes are in place for the selection and nomination of Directors.

A Nomination Committee will review and interview the candidates, before submitting the shortlisted candidates to the Executive Committee (EXCO) for approval. Upon approval, the selected candidates will be inducted into the Board and committee(s) where applicable. The renomination and reappointment of Board members follow the same rigorous process.
