The Vaal University of Technology (VUT) held its annual Administration Professionals day at Quest Conference Centre. The event was organised by the VUT Administrators’ forum which serves to bring unity and diversity to administrators with in the institution.
The aim of the annual Administrators form is to allow the administrators to network find common ground to problems and suggestions to come up with creative ideas and to blow off some steam catch up with friends and basically let their hair down.
The event was kicked off with the AGM and the 2019 committee was announced as follows:
Chairperson: Kimberly Coetzee
Deputy Chairperson: Juliet Hector
Secretary: Sarah Tlale
Deputy Secretary: Relebohile Moloi
Events Coordinator: Annelie Bekker
Treasurer: Retha Visagie
Public Relations: Theo Mushwana
Training officer: Hilda Ncube
The day was filled with a fun treasure hunt game under the theme of “A Treasure to Treasure”. The purpose was to bring all the administrators together and for them to get to know each other. The treasure hunt game was played by teams of 10 members each.
The aim was to get people to collaborate and work together by running to different stalls which were maned by different service providers to solve a puzzle. The completed puzzle could then open the treasure box filled with beautiful branded VUT bags.
Each Administrator was spoiled with a goodie bag with items from VUT suppliers who sponsored their branded items. Many lucky draws were handed out. The day was a massive success.
The 2018 Administrator of the Year was bestowed on Mrs Ann Jacobs, who said: “I don’t have many words, but this is such a great team and I am pleased to be part of VUT.”
The second runner up was Ms Melanie van der Westhuizen who couldn’t believe that she had won and was extremely excited to receive her gifts and a voucher.
The official handover of the current administrators’ committee will be announced to the members of the forum.
