View from the Top!

This month we start a new initiative of recognising new members who are registered as MHRPs as well as existing members who upgrade to MHRP. MHRP is the highest level of professional registration at SABPP. It signifies that the incumbent has arrived. However, it also means that once you are at the top you have a responsibility of looking down not just for the view but to help others come up.

There are many reasons why we are showcasing our members, but I will restrict to the below two reasons.

1. Networking opportunities. You get to know members at the top echelon and see opportunities of networking and collaboration.
2. Motivation. The idea here is to ensure that young and upcoming professionals may find role models and heroes to learn from having seen that it is possible.

This month we kick off with two recently registered MHRPs. We welcome them to the official SABPP community and to the highest level of registration. Should you like to be connected to any of them please contact professional@sabpp.co.za
