Events update | Life after PA | PA Retirers' Association
On September 3rd 2008 we celebrated our 40 year anniversary in Sweden together with over seventy members of our alumni network. The event was hosted by the two keynote speakers; our CEO Alan Middleton and Gunnar Rylander, Managing Director of the Swedish operation between 1974-1985, both contributing to an interesting story about the development of the company from a global and local perspective the last decades. Interested in information about PA's background in Sweden since establishment more in detail? Please send your request for a copy of the booklet “PA consulting Groups history the last four decades” (in Swedish) to alumni.se@paconsulting.com.
The event was the starting point for the relaunch of a formal PA alumni programme in Sweden, central to this will be bi-annual alumni events.
From playwriter of Hollywood productions to manager of the Swedish Taxation Authority´s shared service centre, our alumni are certainly demonstrating that basic consulting skills can be applied in many different areas. We always feel a pride when we see former PA employees succeed in new challenging positions.
The PA Retirers' Association (PARA) is a great way to keep in contact with ex-PA colleagues and receive occasional updates on news about PA itself. Over 500 PA pensioners and alumni enjoy being members of PARA.
The PARAnews newsletter is distributed three times each year, and contains a wide variety of articles on subjects ranging from updates on the pension scheme to members’ experiences and activities.
PARA organises regional social events, usually lunch-time gatherings in pubs or restaurants, that are becoming increasingly popular. The Annual General Meetings present a special opportunity to get together with former colleagues from far and wide. There is also an annual golf tournament in the UK.
Membership of PARA is open to everyone who has spent a considerable proportion of their career in PA, or their widowed spouse.
