Portfolio Representatives 2024/2025
A special mention of two star Portfolio Representatives on the GWD Management Committee:
Thapelo has been instrumental in establishing a Young Professionals Committee within the Division and we must congratulate him on excellent leadership. He shared with us that his Committee looks
 forward to not only building stronger student and young professional participation in all regions but will also focus on the GSSA YGPs and WISA YWPs relationships as established this year through shared events and information exchanges. 
A hearty welcome to Awodwa Magingi joining the GWD MANCO as a new Portfolio Representative.  Awodwa has been an active participant in all GWD events since her early student years. We are extremely proud of her as in her professional career she has 
already been noticed, mentioned, published and lauded for being a young female scientist (hydrogeologist) of note. It's going to be great having you on the team Awodwa.
