Posted on |
At its last meeting in Vienna, the presidium of SAMARITAN INTERNATIONAL elected Dr. Ivo Bonamico, Director of the White Cross (WK) South Tyrol, as SAM.I.’s Interim Secretary General.
After the recent resignation of former Secretary General Christian Reuter effective March 31st 2015, Dr. Bonamico will head the General Secretariat. Dr. Bonamico has been a long-term member of the SAM.I. presidium and is currently the Director of SAM.I.’s South Tyrolean member organisation Landesrettungsverein Weißes Kreuz (WK).
“I have been following the activities of SAM.I. as one of its vice-presidents since 2001. I am very much looking forward to my new tasks as Secretary General.” Dr. Bonamico said upon his election.
Since its accession to the network in 1998, WK has been a very active and valued partner within the SAM.I. network. Under the direction of Dr. Bonamico, they have cooperated with the other European Samaritans in various projects. At the moment, the organisation is part of three large civil protection projects. They have also already hosted several large SAM.I. events, such as the international SAMARITAN Contest. This August, they will once more host the SAMARITAN Forum in Bolzano, South Tyrol.
