JAMMs welcomes Angela Lorimer as lead chair

Angela Lorimer has been appointed lead chair of the Joint Association Member Meeting Sessions (JAMMs). She has been a member of JAMMs since 2018. She represents SAACI as their chair for the Western Cape and is a member of Skål International Cape Town.

Ms Lorimer takes over the position of lead chair from Fiona Angelico, who has been lead chair from 2019-2021, representing Skål International South Africa as national president.

JAMMs was formed in 2007.

The original partners are CTT (Cape Town Tourism), SAACI (Southern Africa Association for the Conference Industry), FEDHASA Cape (Federated Hospitality Association of Southern Africa) and SATSA (Southern Africa Tourism Services Association).

Ms Lorimer said: “WESGRO recently joined JAMMs in a supportive role as well as Skål, who has joined JAMMs as a partner. As a network of membershipdriven associations, we represent the bulk of mainstream tourism in the province. The reason JAMMS was formed was to create a platform for members to crosspollinate, network and share information as well as to discuss broad tourism issues that affect the tourism sector as a whole.”

“As a representative body, we are uniquely placed to advocate jointly for key matters affecting the sector in the province, one example of this being the collective efforts of the JAMMs partners in responding to the #DayZero crisis,” she concluded.
