POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y., May 26 – The International Association of Outsourcing Professionals® (IAOP®) continues to expand in the Middle East and North Africa with the launch of its Jordan Chapter that will hold a kick off meeting in Amman on May 31.
The new chapter is chaired by Information Technology Association of Jordan (Int@j), an industry-support association for Jordan’s ICT sector founded in 2000 that is building on the nation’s core asset of highly educated and skilled human resources to establish Jordan as a leading regional ICT hub and an internationally recognized exporter of ICT products and services.
The meeting will be held from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Sheraton Amman Al Nabil Hotels & Towers in Amman, Jordan and include welcome remarks, networking, webinars and workshops.
Speakers and topics include a keynote address by IAOP Chairman Michael Corbett on “Yesterday’s Challenges & Tomorrow’s Opportunities in the MENA Region,” and a panel discussion on “Building a Smart Shore Destination: Jordan’s Strategic Advantage” with speakers from Development Zones Commission (DZC), USAID Jordan Economic Development Program (SABEQ), IAOP, Int@j and Aspire Services.
Also, Bobby Varanasi, CEO of Matryzel Consulting Inc and IAOP Asia Ambassador, will speak at two separate workshops on “The Essential Elements of Outsourcing Strategy” and “Solution Selling and Client Acquisition” for outsourcing providers.
“Launching an IAOP chapter in Jordan reflects the strong commitment from both the government and industry to adopt and leverage global professional standards of excellence, while continually endeavoring at showcasing the benefits of such adoption to the global marketplace,” Varanasi said. “The chapter’s thrust on talent development and understanding the intricacies of the Middle East North Africa marketplace is vital to the profession, paving the way to increased focus on this clearly emerging region.”
The Jordan Chapter is a geographic chapter within IAOP’s portfolio of more than 40 chapters worldwide. It is open to all IAOP members from around the globe.
