An update from ATTA®: We’re bringing our membership and events operations together under one ATTA® brand and not-for-profit organisation.
For our members, this means a closer connection between being part of ATTA® and the opportunities to meet buyers, build relationships and grow their businesses through our events.
Virginia Messina continues as CEO, with Chris Mears now leading Membership and Events as Chief Commercial Officer.
We’re also recruiting a Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer.
Virginia said: “Bringing our membership and events operations together under one ATTA® brand gives us a simpler, stronger structure from which to deliver our ambitions for the association and, most importantly, greater value for our members.”
Alongside this, we’re introducing a new five-tier membership model to offer more tailored support to members across Africa and our international community.
