Concomitentes appoints its board of trustees
The group of experts, made up of seven leading women in the cultural and artistic sector, will help in the elaboration of the strategic plan to scale up the growth of the project.
From Concomitentes the governance and joint decision-making is key to strengthening our way of doing things.. For this reason, we have appointed a board of trustees, made up of seven leading women in the fields of art, culture and social innovation, which will become the driving force of our association and whose tasks will be to ensure the fulfilment of the founding aims of the project; to monitor the performance of the Board of Directors and accountability; to strengthen good governance and continuity of citizen accountability; and to ensure the positioning of Concomitentes and the concomitancias as the soul of the project.
Thus, this initiative, marked in our Reimagining Governance Plan, will drive us to not only elaborate our strategic plan but to anchor the sustainable growth of Concomitentes at the national level for the coming years.
