2013 CURRICULUM VITAE

It is with great pride that I look back over the last 42 years
and see what has been achieved.

I am the generation that for various economic and social reasons had huge
responsibility entrusted on them 25 years ahead of their predecessors .

It has obviously been tremendous to have been in these fantastic
positions but with that comes a personal requirement to manage the pace
of our lives as well as how the chapters of it fit together.

As I see it I have just completed the first half of my life ( …all been equal !)

-20 years on education and learning ones place in both life and society

-20 years working your way up the corporate ladder to lead industries, however
there is NO way that one can expect that you would be able to add value to any
organisation by staying in a leadership position for another 20 or 30 years
without stagnating !

SO …today I see myself starting off on the next 20 year journey refreshed and with
the energy and enthusiasm of a 20 year old going to make his mark on the world and
have promised myself that:

-I will be looking to LEARN about new things and new ways to do things ..

-I will be looking to USE what I do know to the best possible effect, no matter what I do..

-I will be looking to SHARE what I have learnt with others who welcome it, so that the
wheel need not be re-invented ..

I am Brett Dungan and this is what I have done so far!

Dear Brett

 

YOUR RESIGNATION FROM FEDHASA

 

It is with sadness that I have the responsibility as Chairman of the National Management Board, to acknowledge and accept your resignation from FEDHASA with effect from 31st December 2011.

 

We salute your efforts in having managed the process of positively restructuring of the association with undying passion and drive. Your guidance, contribution and industry representation during your extended term of office has been greatly appreciated and we thank you for your continued dedication in serving the association since 2004.

 

May I take this opportunity on behalf of the members of the National Management Board, the regional and national staff members to extend our sincerest gratitude for having had the privilege of working with you and in bidding you farewell, wish you only further success in your future endeavours.

 

I know that the industry, media, FEDHASA membership and all the friends you have built over time will miss you. When they give us hard time, I will mobilise all my colleagues to call for your return.

 

 

Yours sincerely
