MESSAGE FROM THE CEO SID GOKANI
As we navigate this uncertain time through the pandemic, I am inspired by the adaptability and resilience demonstrated by AIPM members, our staff, and volunteers. These attributes were in the spotlight on the final day of our fully virtual National Conference series for 2021. With over 400 delegates attending the series, we had an outstanding line up of speakers including Managing Director, Head of Asia Pacific and Global Strategy, Macquarie Group, Viktor Shvets, Australia’s Chief Scientist, Cathy Foley AO PSM, and Executive Chairman of Aspen Medical, Glenn Keys AO.

The judging of the 2021 Project Management Achievement Awards has also commenced, and I would like to thank each individual and organisation who submitted your entry – the quality of this year’s entrants is truly exceptional. We look forward to announcing the Chapter winners in the coming months and the National winners at the 2022 National Conference, with more details to come soon. There are a number of other initiatives I look forward to sharing with you, including our joint report with KPMG, which will look at the state of project management in Australia and will be released on International Project Management Day, as well as the 2021 Annual Report, which showcases our prosperous future and resilience as an organisation. Thank you to each member for your continued support, and I hope you stay well and safe. Enjoy reading, Sid Gokani MBA GAICD CEO Australian Institute of Project Management
