President's column

摘要

When one takes on a new role management specialists all comment on what was achieved in the incumbents first 90 days. Well, in my case this 90-day period as President of the Society coincided with the culmination of a personal goal - that of tackling a major mountain on a large mountaineering expedition. So a significant portion of these 90 days was spent attempting to become the first South African woman to summit Manaslu - at 8163m the 8th highest mountain the world.
