The Institute of Information Technology Professionals SA (IITPSA) has elected Wellington Matope as its new president, with Vunani Limited IT executive Ulandi Exner and ICT veteran Adrian Schofield as vice presidents.
Matope assumes the role following his stint as VP of the institute under Rabelani Dagada.
He is the portfolio head for GTSS Foundational Infrastructure CBT Business Releases at Standard Bank.
Speaking at a function announcing his appointment yesterday, he indicated his intention for IITPSA "to take its national influence on ICT policy matters to another level and to do that we will need to work closely with government".
"I would like to see the IITPSA brand embedded in the ICT industry with us being the voice that informs, educates, inspires and enables.
"I will be working with CIOs, members, the executive committee, management committee and all our strategic stakeholders to take the organisation to the next level and become more relevant to the industry," he added.
IITPSA says Moira de Roche will remain in the role of honorary treasurer. The institute - formerly known as Computer Society SA (CSSA) - is a professional body that engages with commerce, industry and government in order to influence policy formulation on behalf of its own members and other stakeholders.
