From the Desk of Regional

Coordinator South

Hema Sekhar

Covid has definitely changed the level of interactions in the region and it has been a challenge
to keep the energy levels up and satisfy affiliation needs.

Monthly Meetings
• We have had regular meeting and interaction, with an average 18-20 People attending
which is a mix of Associate and Professional Members
• We decided to try having Presentations introduced as part of meetings, and 2 of that
series was

o Understanding Self - Jungian Psychology by Dr Anuradha Prasad
o Rank , Power & Privilege - Eswara Prasad

• We also spent one session exploring the whys of lack of energy in the region, but could
not reach a definite conclusion, Zoom fatigue did come up as a possible reason.

Learning Sessions for PMs
Mining the moment - Lalitha Iyer, interesting exploration of Here and Now as a concept, We
had 10-12 PMs attending, and had some lively discussions

PMs. His family members also attended it.

would like as learning sessions. We have approximately 20 + PDP in various stages.
