• Suneel Kumar Burra will be taking over
the Volunteers function from 2015 as
Wikus Engelbrecht will be moving into
another role.
• We have been battling in the professional
development space for quite a while to get
a worthy replacement for Gert Meiring and
I am happy to announce that we finally
convinced Jannes Haasbroek to take this
role on for us. We will be hosting PMP
Examination Preparation Workshops, our
Last Bridging Workshop, Professional
Development Days as well as a Change
Management Workshop.
• And last but not the least; Raja
Amirthalingam also joined us to improve
our marketing for PMI in South Africa.
As you can see we are planning a busy and
challenging year. If any of the items
mentioned above seems interesting to you,
feel free to contact myself or any of the other
volunteers for more information.
All the best for 2015 from the Gauteng Branch
Team!
