After a magnificent and fruitful work during the last six years at the head of Fundación Personas, Ángeles García has decided to voluntarily step down as president of this entity, favoring the participation and rotation of positions among the different provinces, and Carlos Martín has been appointed to succeed her in the position by unanimous decision of the board of trustees.
Carlos Martín, a lawyer, has extensive experience and experience in management positions in various entities in the sector, and is currently vice president of APADEFIM Segovia and secretary of Plena Inclusion Castilla y Leónwhich allows him to know well the needs of people with disabilities and their families. He has also been a member of the board of trustees of Fundación Personas for more than a decade. In the family field, he is the father of a young girl with intellectual disabilities.
This change in the presidency is accompanied by the renewal of positions within the board of trustees, as follows:
- Chairman, Carlos Martín
- Vice President, Amando Cacho
- Secretary, José Luis Cabeza
On behalf of all of us who are part of Fundación Personas, we would like to express our gratitude to Ángeles García, a pioneering woman who, together with the other members of the Board of Trustees and her technical team, has managed to lead this organization to position it as a benchmark, earning the affection of all professionals, people served, families and public administrations throughout a lifetime dedicated to the sector.
And in this new stage that now opens under his presidency, we wish Carlos Martin the greatest success. His great experience, commitment and approachability are guarantees for the future to continue improving the quality of life of people with disabilities and their families, facing with enthusiasm a horizon full of opportunities.
