IFLA

Welcome 👋🏽 Here are selected highlights from my global work at IFLA.

The strong performance of IFLA has been mainly due to the significant involvement of many volunteers worldwide, which boosted the IFLA Strategy and the new Governance.

My advocacy experience involves active participation in several meetings and forums to an audience of high-level politicians, experts, and officials, at UN, UNESCO, The Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLA), among others.
