Applications to renew your EMBA licence for 2021 are now open.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM EMBA
Please make sure that my second cell number
+27 65 134 8076
is added as a contact on your cell phone. This is so that you will receive the Broadcast Whatsapp messages from EMBA. This is the primary means of communication, and I will only send Emails to those who specifically request an Email. This is because when I send bulk emails the vast majority are rejected as SPAM.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RE COMMUNICATIONS AS OF 13 JANUARY 2021
As the Whatsapp debate rants on, please note the following:
I will continue to send out Broadcast Whatsapp messages. Anyone who does not wish to receive messages in this format please let me know and you will be sent messages via Email.
I have extensively questioned and checked the pros and the cons, and am responsibly advised that tossing Whatsapp is not actually indicated.
I have investigated the pros and cons of Signal. With Signal I can set up groups of 150 riders, but it is a chat group. Your privacy is immediately lost as every one on the group now has access your details. In the Broadcast group only I have all the contact details. Each person gets a personal message and only I get the response. For large numbers, as far as I am concerned, a chat group is a nightmare as everyone chips in, the topic becomes irrelevant and any message becomes lost in the chatter.
Using Emails, I only send bulk mails as a BCC, so that, again, only I have the full list of contacts, and I only I receive the response.
Your 2020 EMBA board is valid until 31 December 2020. The 2021 board can be used from 01 December 2020
