Raising R1 million for LIASA. The President's challenge.
The LIASA President’s challenge to all LIASA members...
In this present economic climate we need to look at ways to become self sustaining.
Presently we generate funds from membership, grants and some very loyal sponsors.
However the annual membership fees, currently R 350.00 for the individual full member, mainly goes towards the operational costs. Membership fees alone will not sustain our Association into the future! We have to look at additional ways to generate funds hence the challenge from our President Rachel More to raise R1 Million for LIASA during her term of office.
The President kicked off this campaign with a donation of R1000, so it is up to the members to add the zero’s we need to reach the target of a million.

LIASA has achieved many successes over the last decade, but also faced some challenges. These include a declining membership, members' apathy, lack of growth in Branches and Interest Groups, financial problems and lack of capacity in the LIASA National Office.
To address these challenges the President and Representative Council adopted a theme for their term of office, namely: "Repositioning LIASA for growth and development".
