Five Under 30
GTA recognises the need to reach out and engage further with the younger cohort in our industry, making sure that we create the right environment for future leaders.
This annual program was created to assist, guide and recognise future leaders in the industry, as well as increase involvement of younger generation of members in GTA activities. Each year GTA will select 5 individuals as the “Five under 30” and offer them additional opportunities, encourage involvement in GTA activities, offer mentorship and guidance over a period of 12 months.
