Message from SARIPA's Chairperson

January 2019

I am excited about the future of SARIPA and honoured to have been appointed Chair of this dynamic organization. However, it would be remiss of me, if I did not acknowledge the sterling work done by the previous executive and management teams, and in particular, I would like to thank Juanito Damons and Allan Pellow for their huge effort over the years and their dedication in steering AIPSA, now SARIPA, to where we are today.

The arena in which our members operate is not for the faint-hearted, and poses both opportunities and challenges. Innovation is key to success in a competitive environment and SARIPA needs continued input from our members to enable the board to identify and successfully address your needs on an ongoing basis.

We have various new and exciting projects that we will be rolling out in 2019 and we are confident that members will recognise the benefits of these projects in the short term. From myself, my vice chair Haroon Laher and the Board, we wish you a prosperous and successful 2019.

Eric Levenstein
(SARIPA Chairperson)
