It is with sadness that I share news of the passing of our former Administrator, Sandy Andrew on Saturday evening, 20th February 2021. Sandy joined SACANCHAM in early 2017 and supported the three founding Directors in establishing the chamber and assisted me with member and event activities until her retirement in November 2019. Sandy was a gifted communicator with the ability to make everyone with whom she connected feel very special. On behalf of the SACANCHAM Board, members and partners we extend heartfelt condolences to Sandy’s family and many friends and assure them of our prayers at this time.
