The senior vice-president of Italian footwear manufacturers’ association Assocalzaturifici, Giovanna Ceolini, will serve as acting president following the resignation from the post of Siro Badon. He stepped down at the end of July owing to pressure of work at his own shoe business, writes Leatherbiz.
Ms Ceolini has accepted the appointment, which is in keeping with the Assocalzaturifici articles of association, and has said that, in addition to taking care of administrative matters, she will quickly set up an appointment commission to find a longer-term replacement for Mr Badon.
She will also steer the organisation through the Micam exhibition in Milan from September 18-20.
“We are preparing for an outstanding edition of Micam,” Ms Ceolini said, “one that will confirm the event’s status as an essential business opportunity and economic driver for the entire footwear industry.”
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
