2025 President's Farewell message

It was an honour for me to serve on such an Incredible committee for 6 amazing Years.

Time has gone by so quick, we had lots of fun, laughter, tears, frustration and the best of it all the memories and friendship I will carry with me forever.

In 2018 I was approached by a well-known person in the industry to join the IING… Being the shy and reserved person I am, I was not sure if this is for me but was excited to be part of an institution that does so much for the industry and that gives back to the community.

Sometimes we need to push our boundaries, and I decided to give it a go. In 2019 I was appointed as Co-Secretary of the IING.

I started off as a quiet person, finding my feet on the committee and every event happening. Soon it was a second nature.

2020 I was voted as Secretary of the IING and it all continued, more comfortable with the journey and the people.

2023 I was voted as vice President of the IING, supporting the President Adele Cronje.

2025 I was voted as President of the IING. This was a huge honor for me, and I was both humbled and inspired by the Opportunity.

As I started the journey of President, my words were that this is not a journey about me, but about us. The entire IING Committee, as we will be working together to create meaningful connections, professional growth and industry excellence.
