Designation Duration & Status

Each successful member’s designation is valid for the year of initial award.

Each TMA-SA member who has earned an designation will have his/her designation renewed annually for one year at the commencement of TMA-SA’s financial year provided the member has met certain criteria, namely:

1. That the member continues to remain a paid-up member in good standing of TMA-SA
2. That the member has paid the designation fee
3. That the member has completed the required continuous professional development (CPD) during the prior year; and
4. The member has renewed his/her commitment to the TMA-SA’s Code of Conduct with the annual membership renewal.

Candidates that meet all requirements will be awarded the relevant designation by the TMA-SA board and be recognised at a TMA-SA designation graduation function.

Suspension Withdrawal and De-designation of any Member

A member of TMA-SA who has been designated may have their designation withdrawn if the member:

1. Resigns or loses membership of TMA-SA;
2. Does not meet the CPD requirements;
3. Brings the TMA-SA, or TMA Global, into disrepute for any reason whatsoever;
4. Becomes Insolvent or is convicted of a criminal offence involving dishonesty; or
5. Is subject to a disciplinary enquiry in terms of the TMA-SA’s Code of Conduct and is expelled from the TMA-SA.

RE-APPLICATION

In the event that a member’s designation has lapsed for whatever reason, the member in good standing may reapply for designation.

Any such re-designation needs to be accompanied by payment of the requisite fee and will be subject to the approved designation process outlined above.

APPEAL PROCEDURE

There is no appeal procedure and the Designation Committee’s decision is final.
