Jaume Vaquer re-elected president of AENIB

Jaume Vaquer has revalidated the trust of the associates to gain a new mandate after an election process to which only one list was presented. Alongside the president, the Executive Committee of AENIB comprises of Tina Campins (vice president), Ramón Diaz (representative of Ibiza and Formentera), José Luis Sastre (representative of Menorca) and Carlos Sanlorenzo (representative of ANEN). The Board consists of Margarita Dahlberg as a Treasurer and as members Margarita Clar, Diane Franklin, Patricia Bullock, Antonio Salom, Isabel Flores, Xisco Massanet, Carlos Petisco y Fernando Larrumbe.

Jaume Vaquer has been working for more than 40 years in the nautical sector and represents the third generation of a family dedicated to nautical business. As the founder of the company Jaume Vermell Náutica, he has devoted his professional life to sales, charter, repair and maintenance of pleasure boats. He has been a member of AENIB since 1998 and president since 4 years, substituting Margarita Dahlberg, who continues active in the association as a board member.

Having been re-elected, he will steer the nautical employer´s association for the next 4 years. Among the first issues on the table – apart from the consequences of the current health crisis on the nautical industries – are the need to give a decisive push for professional nautical training on the islands, to achieve a collective agreement for the sector and the task of reinforcing the communication of the association, both between its members as well as towards the public, in order to highlight the strategic role of the nautical sector in the Balearic economy and society.
