The Board of Directors of Smart City Cluster has elected as its new president the Almeria businessman Martín Carrillo (photo), who until now has held the position of secretary general of the entity. The changeover follows the voluntary resignation of the former president, Miguel Ángel Romero, as his current professional responsibilities prevent him from dedicating the necessary time to the position of president of the Cluster. Romero wished ‘the best for the future of the association’ and expressed his conviction that ‘the new president will continue to consolidate the organisation as a national benchmark for smart cities’. For his part, Carrillo thanked Romero for the ‘enormous effort’ he has made to reconcile his professional duties, was pleased that he will continue as a member of the Board of Directors and called on all members to attend the next General Assembly, to be held on 27 June.
