FAAPI Annual General Meeting
FAAPI’ s Annual General Meeting was held on June 15th in Córdoba.
APrIR’ s Treasurer Cecilia Moretti and Under Treasurer Marta Masía represented us. It was, as usual, an opportunity to share concerns and achievements with sister associations, and to reinforce the need to work together with the common aim of furthering professional development.
In addition to granting approval to the annual financial report, delegates elected APIZALS Gaby Tavella as Vice President and APISE Emma Figueroa as Secretary( 2nd term), among other EC members. They were also glad to welcome APIER( Entre Ríos), newly re-launched, as a formal FAAPI member.
