ASOCSA Announces New Interim Board

The Association of Schools of Construction SA continues to play a significant role within the Southern African regional landscape. As a platform for the dissemination of research, institutional collaboration, disciplinary advancement, and the cultivation of scholarly networks, ASOCSA remains central to the development of the built environment academic community. Against this background, ASOCSA is pleased to announce the appointment of a new interim Board of Directors, marking an important step in the reconstitution and renewal of the Association. The newly constituted Board brings together individuals with longstanding involvement in ASOCSA, as well as extensive experience across both academic and industry spheres, locally and internationally. This collective depth of knowledge and institutional memory positions the Board to guide ASOCSA through a critical phase of re-establishment, ensuring that its legacy is preserved while its future is strengthened.

The interim Board of Directors will be chaired by Dr Rodney Milford, and includes Prof John Smallwood and Mr Chris Allen. Together, they will oversee the next phase of ASOCSA’s development, including the strengthening of its Journal and Conference platforms, as well as the broader re-engagement of member institutions. Under Dr Milford’s leadership, the interim Board is committed to restoring and advancing ASOCSA as a structurally sound, legally compliant, operationally sustainable, and academically credible institution. Particular focus will be placed on re-establishing robust governance and operational frameworks to support the Association’s long-term viability and relevance.

Further communication will follow as the Board progresses with the formalisation of ASOCSA’s governance structures and the re-establishment of its activities.
