  • Since July 11th, Autoocupació has a new Board of Trustees that has renewed its positions and incorporated new trustees into the Foundation.
  • Albert Colomer takes on the challenge of leading the new board, while the Board of Trustees retains Jordi de Miquel i Miquel as vice-president.
On July 11th, the Autoocupació Board of Trustees held a board meeting in Barcelona where new board positions were assigned and new trustees were incorporated into the Foundation. Albert Colomer was appointed as the new president of the Foundation, replacing Joan Carles Martínez. Jordi de Miquel i Miquel was re-elected as vice-president, and Tirso Gracia Serrano took on the role of board secretary. Notable additions include Jean Claude Rodriguez-Ferrera Massons, Alexandra Planella Pujolràs, Jordi Rodríguez Ripollès, and Yolanda Tarango Julian as board members, as well as Xavier Garcia i Pous taking on the role of board treasurer. As stated by Albert Colomer, president of the Foundation, the board is a new team for a new era where self-employment is constantly changing, the labor market is trending towards self-employment, and the idea of working as an employee for a company is being left behind… for this reason, the new Board of Trustees has taken on the objective of taking self-employment to a new level.
