Final event for 2019!
Tuesday 3 December was the final event for 2019. Members gathered at The Gallery to hear from Mark Stephens, SA Water's Asset Analytics Lead, as he provided an overview of the systems supporting the highly regarded Smart Network project. Drinks and canapes afterwards allowed time for attendees to celebrate 2019! Thank you to SA Water for supporting this event.
SA Chapter Council Update
We would like to thank Edward Johnstone and David Farwell for their time and commitment to the SA Chapter Council and the Project Management profession over the past years. Unfortunately they have both served their terms on council. Ed will continue to be involved with the Health and PMO Communities of Practice, whilst David will act as an Ambassador for the Chapter Council. We would like to welcome new Councillors; Gordan Lesicar and Robby Franklin. We look forward to working with them in 2020.
