Future Leaders Panel 2022 HIGHLIGHTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

The year 2022 has been an exciting period of growth and transformation for the SAICE Future Leaders Panel (FLP), which has changed its name from the SAICE Young Members Panel to better reflect the identity of our members and the emerging trends in their careers.

Nationwide Roadshow

During 2022, the SAICE FLP conducted a nationwide roadshow to invite new members to join and participated in several local, national, and international events. The Panel welcomed the participation of members from outside South Africa who have shared their international work experiences with members. The 2022 FLP Chair, Michael

Mhlanga, also represented the FLP at the 2022 World Engineering Conference in Costa Rica.

In addition, FLP successfully hosted Gauteng and Western Cape YMP socials, assisted in planning the Wits student chapter speed mentoring event, and attended various industry functions to support young professionals. SAICE FLP was also appointed to the FAEO Young Engineers Committee and served as judges for the 2022 World Engineering Day Hackathon. The team hosted brainstorming sessions with CESA YFP to strengthen collaborations and attended the Presidential Inauguration to welcome and support 2023 SAICE President Steven Kaplan.

Committed Support

Moving forward into 2023, the Panel is committed to serving the growing demands of its members and identifying new ways to support their professional growth. FLP will continue to promote the SAICE Growing Forward strategy and advocate for its vision through all eleven cardinal points.
