Dear 2007-2024 GCL alumni,
Thank you for casting your votes to elect your 2024-2027 Board of Directors of the GCL Alumni Network.
At the Latin America Leadership Program (LALP), we are happy to have supported the GCL Alumni Network in this important process. We express our sincere gratitude to all the GCL alumni who have cast votes to make your voices heard, and especially to the eight candidates who ran for office: Adrían Leal (GCL 2024, Mexico), Elizabeth Arredón (GCL 2013, Mexico), Gabriel Rebollón (GCL 2018, Panama), Isaac López (GCL 2021, Mexico), Javier Marcet (GCL 2023, Spain), María Paula García (GCL 2024, Colombia), Samuel González (GCL 2017, Mexico), and Santiago Paéz (GCL 2022, Colombia).
As a reminder, the composition of the Board of Directors is determined as follows:
1. President:
○ The candidate who receives the greatest number of votes will be named President.
2. Vice President and Members:
○ The next four candidates with the highest number of votes will occupy the positions of Vice President and Members.
○ The President-elect will assign these positions (Vice President and members) among the four remaining candidates.
Below, you can find the election results for your reference.
The election had a 38.5% participation with a total of 245 GCL alumni casting valid votes. All the cohorts participated, and the cohorts that led in votes were (in order of participation) GCL 2013 (12% of total votes), GCL 2022 and GCL 2024 (11% each), GCL 2023 (10%), and GCL 2017 (9%).
Please join us in congratulating the newly elected Board for the upcoming three-year period of November 2024-November 2027.

We also want to thank Carina Silva, Gustavo Rodriguez, and the members of the Board, Camilo Santa, Karen Dupont, and Jose Benages, for all their contributions to the network and their continuous collaboration with LALP these past three years.
The new Board will assume office during the 2024 GCL Alumni Reunion in Quito, Ecuador this November.
