Ingi Deutschlander, WAPA's GM, said: "WAPA is pleased to have Michele on board, as she brings with her years of industry experience, a keen understanding of the challenges faced by WAPA members within the larger context in South Africa, as well as a can-do attitude that will help propel momentum in key areas, such as marketing and business enabling opportunities for the members. We look forward to working with her to achieve these goals."
The appointment, which is effective immediately, will enable McCann to assist the committee in creating awareness of the WAPA community and goals, as well as further drive the ambitions of the association. "I'm excited to get stuck in," said McCann. "I've always enjoyed the process of product development and taking it to market, and I believe that this experience is going to guide me in my role on the committee and possibly even see the future review of a WAPA INX."
