 Bogota. UNI Americas Women’s Committee Meeting was chaired by Gladis Zamponi as a result of Joyce Robinson’s absence, who was forced to resign for health reasons. On the other hand, the Vice President of the Committee Leonor Sierra presented her resignation for being a member of UNI Americas’ staff, and because of her position as Coordinator of Colombia Support Centre.



Raul Requena, in charge of the official opening of the event, thanked for the presence of Veronica Fernandez, Head of UNI Women’s Department, and guests Ligia Inés Alzate from CUT, Diana Gómez from CTC, Adriana Rozensvaig from UNI SCORE, and Denise McGuire, UNI Women’s World President. After this, the Committee initiated its work sessions.



The Committee unanimously appointed Lynn Bue, from CUPW Canada, who was also proposed by Joyce Robinson, to replace her. She accepted the challenge and took over as President of the Committee until October 2012. Mara Luzia Feltes from CONTRACS Brazil was also unanimously appointed Vice President.



Lynn Bue regretted Joyce’s dismissal and pointed out that it shall be very difficult to replace her predecessor. She expressed strong commitment to work hard in the performance of her duties. For her part, Mara Luzia expressed gratitude for her colleagues’ support and promised to work jointly with the President for the benefit of UNI Americas Women.
