Dear stakeholder
Welcome to the first mobile-friendly edition of Dispatches.
We ended the month of May with a strong focus on ensuring a successful ASISA Assembly 2016.
Judging from the positive feedback received from delegates, speakers and panelists, we believe that this was achieved. The one-day assembly took place in Johannesburg on Thursday, 2 June, under the banner “Now or Never – There is no next time”.
Departing from tradition, this year’s assembly was open only to employees of ASISA member companies. The aim was to brief ASISA members on progress made by the CEO Group working with Government on bringing about sustainable change in our economy as well as various ASISA initiatives. We were encouraged by the open and honest sharing of information by speakers invited to provide feedback on the four national work streams as well as the frank discussions that followed.
The CEO sponsors, or designation representatives, of the four national work streams provided feedback and also took part in the panel discussions. The CEOs of ASISA member companies involved in the work streams also participated.
Jabulane Mabuza, in his capacity as co-ordinator of the CEO Group, provided some big picture insights, together with Lungisa Fuzile, Director-General at the National Treasury, representing Governments as a partner in these work streams.
In summary, it was obvious that the collaborative efforts by Government and the private sector are being viewed as positive by our members.
A heartfelt thank you goes to all speakers and panelists who made themselves available, as well as our members who supported the ASISA Assembly 2016.
