Jose Alejandro Vazquez will replace Ignacio Socias as the Director of International Relations at IFFD, and therefore as the main representative to the United Nations.
Ignacio Socias, who is beginning his retirement process with this step, will continue working for IFFD on Advocacy Talent Acquisition and will provide counsel on tasks assigned by the Board.

At IFFD we feel extremely thankful for all of his hard work advocating for families worldwide. Thank you, Ignacio!
Here are his last words at the official celebration of the 30th anniversary of the International Year of the Family, with the participation of representatives from social sectors worldwide.
