Time has flown by, and the current board has officially been in term for two years now and we are pleased with the way the association is headed and in what we have achieved so far.

Your commitment to LEEASA is key to its success.
I have been elected as Chairperson for my final consecutive term and in two years’ time I will be handing over the reins to a new Chairperson and be taking a seat as an ordinary board member.
I would like to congratulate Andries Agenbag being appointed as Vice Chairperson as his second term on the board as well as the other board members on their election. Below I would like to introduce the talented and united team that aims to make LEEASA the Top Lifting Association in South Africa.
In January / February 2023 we will announce the roles and responsibilities of each board member and our strategic initiatives going forwards. We will also release a yearly planner of all proposed conferences, CPD courses, council meetings etc, as well as other important dates to diarise.
We are also please to announce that we have been awarded our service provide status by ECSA and are now fully equipped to offer our own CPD accredited seminars, courses and training going forwards. ECSA CPD Service Provider: SP_034/2025 - Expiry 11 October 2025
