The long-established South Australian Youth Arts Board (SAYAB) has been renamed and will now been know as the Carclew Youth Arts Board.
The name is the only thing which has been changed, with the Board’s function and members remaining the same.
“The name was changed simply to enhance transparency and eliminate the confusion which surrounded the relationship between SAYAB, Carclew and the youth arts industry,” said the Chair of Carclew Youth Arts’ Board, Kate Gould.
“The Board and Carclew have, from Day 1, been the same organisation. The Board setting policy and Carclew administering that policy – acting as the Board’s arms and legs.”
The different names stemmed from the original constitution which established SAYAB. That constitution has now been amended to bring clarity.
“It’s not surprising that a lot of people never clearly understood the relationship,” said Kate Gould.
