You can find out more about Paco from reading his biography.

When did you join EDF?

FIMITIC joined EDF more than 15 years ago, I was elected on the Board from beginning of June 2019 until June 2022.

What is your favourit moment in your mandate or mandates: a campaign, event,?

My favourite part of the mandate has been all the coordination during COVID and sharing experience and knowledge during the challenging COVID times.

Is there something you made in EDF that you would do differently if you could turn back the time?

I would be more active regarding this issue and share more of of my organisations resources if I could go back on time, but I am content on what I and my colleagues from FIMITIC have shared.

What are your plans for the near future? Would you like to share with us? A project, holidays plans, something to which your are looking forward?

With my colleagues I will continue working in the development of projects at FIMITIC, establishing a strong network within our refounded association. Of course I also intend to run again for the next election and hope to be able to contribute even more to the fulfilment of disability rights.

Do you have a piece of advice for the new Board members, who joined for the first time

I would tell the new board members to enjoy the experience and take advantage of the great source of resources and knowledge that is EDF 😊

Thank you very much Paco for your time, your commitment as a board member. It is great to know that you stay around and can count on your support as a member, and I wish you success in strengthening fIMITIC and all your plans which ever they are. We see you again soon.
