About the South African Chapter
The South African chapter (IIBA®-SA) exists within the broader structure and goals of the IIBA®, but focuses more specifically on the needs of the South African community of professional Business Analysts. It is active in both Gauteng and the Western Cape regions.
In line with global trends, with the IIBA®, the South African Chapter is currently undergoing some structural changes to position if for more growth in coming years. As a consequence, some Board positions are currently vacant.
