Message from the CEO – Celebrating and empowering women |
|
|
Most of you already know that the ASB is an all-women organisation. All the ladies in the “A team” are amazing – and not only for their contributions to the work of the ASB. As we celebrate women this month, I want to emphasise the importance of women empowering themselves. While empowerment comes in many forms, one of the greatest forms of empowerment is education. Education is one of the best investments we can make in ourselves as women. And it is in education where two ladies in the A Team are doing phenomenal work. Let’s start with Siyasanga Nondlazi. Siya is our newest recruit. She joined us in June 2023 as a standard-setter. She holds an Honours degree in Accounting and is a Registered Government Auditor. She recently completed her CIMA Advanced Diploma in Management Accounting, bringing her one step closer to qualifying as a Chartered Global Management Accountant. And then to Julianne Vissie. Julianne is our Office Administrator which means she is the lady that makes everything happen at the ASB. Julianne has been with us for ten years and made the decision earlier this year to start a qualification that will lead her to becoming an Accounting Technician. To date, she has done exceptionally well and we look forward to supporting her on her professional journey. At the ASB, we are fortunate to work in an organisation that promotes professionalisation, lifelong learning, and empowering women. We hope during Women’s month that other organisations and teams will take the time to invest in their greatest assets. |
