2013 Updated ACSG Constitution

The 37^th International Congress on Assessment Centre Methods together with the 33^rd Annual ACSG Conference took place from 11 – 15 March 2013 and the majority of the approximately 230 delegates reported that they found the conference valuable and insightful. The full programme offered something for everyone – from the most inquisitive academics to the most pragmatic practitioners! In line with the theme of “Assessment Centre Methods: Sustaining Evidence-Based Talent Management” the delegates gathered a lot of evidence to support their talent management decisions through assessment centre methods. At the end of the conference some of the presenters did however state that we need even more evidence and encouraged the delegates to collaborate with academics and share their results for further research.

It was exiting to meet so many international delegates at the conference and at a preliminary count there were approximately 170 South Africans in attendance and about 60 delegates from other countries.

	Australia = 1		Belgium = 2		Botswana = 4		Germany = 3
	Hong Kong = 2		Indonesia = 17		Lesotho = 3		Netherlands = 3
	Russia = 2		Singapore = 3		South Africa = 170		Swaziland = 2
	Sweden = 2		Turkey = 1		United Kingdom = 4		USA = 11

 The gala dinner was a very special affair and three important awards were bestowed.

Bill Byham, the co-founder, chairman and CEO  of Development  Dimensions International (DDI)	George Thornton is Professor Emeritus at Colorado State University, USA	Judith Williamson is the ACSG Secretary
Bill received a lifetime achievement award from the ACSG, called the Pioneer award, in recognition of his significant contribution in bringing the modern Assessment Centre method to South Africa	George received a lifetime achievement award from the ACSG, called the legacy award, in recognition of his major influence and research in the field of Assessment Centres	Judith received a certificate of recognition from the ACSG in appreciation of her outstanding contributions, dedication, commitment and quality of work as the ACSG’s secretary

The ACSG also elected a new committee and Jürgen Becker, David Bischof, Ajay Jivan, Portia Maphala and Mkhambi Tjeku will for the next two years facilitate (in collaboration with all the members) the achievement of the ACSG’s objectives.  At the bi-annual general meeting of the ACSG some changes to the constitution were approved and the updated constitution is available on the website.  DVDs of the plenary sessions and the workshops by Brian Hoffman, Alyssa Gibbons and Dan Hughes can be ordered from judith@acsg.co.za - an order form can be downloaded from the link above.
