Former President, Senele Goba, noted: “My appointment as President and Chair last year was indeed an honour, and it has been a privilege to serve the IITPSA and our members in this capacity.”
IITPSA CEO Tony Parry said: “Senele has served the IITPSA with dedication, enthusiasm and professionalism, and we thank her for her service. We welcome Pearl to the position and wish her every success in her new leadership role in the institute.”
The IITPSA recognises outgoing board members, including past-President Thabo Mashegoane and past Social and Ethics Committee chairperson Josine Overdevest for their committed efforts, support and contribution to the institute.
