Business Presidents, Social Transformation
Some of you have been Presidents for longer than others in the different businesses of the cooperatives, so we would like to know about your experience.
R.G.: For me it is a great experience. I have been in the post for more than six years and I have had the opportunity to learn many things from many people. I hold several President posts - which is very enriching, although you always have that point of frustration because you are in an institutional environment and decision-making capacity is limited.
