Eloisa Frederkingwho served as secretary of the Argentine Rural Society (SRA)was elected second vice president of the agricultural entity. Nicolas Pino was re-elected for a third term, while Marcos Pereda will occupy the first vice presidency.
It was a ”historical assembly” for the civil association, since it was also about debut of electronic voting to elect authorities: ”After almost 160 years we use electronic voting for the first time. A system that increased voter participation, generating more institutionality for the SRA,” expressed Pino.
Until the last elections, in Rural they voted by postal mailThat is, the envelope with the ballots was sent to the member, he or she placed the chosen ballot, signed it, and sent it back to the entity. With the new change, qualified members received their voting codes through EVotinga company specialized in electronic voting, either by email or text message. Then, They were sent a link to the platform to be able to fulfill their vote, along with a code.
Referring to the future of management, he stated that “it will be based on the strengthening of union actionand the relationship with rural institutions throughout the country, through the Federal Council.” The new Board of Directors headed by Pino, will lead the entity for two years.
Who is the new vice president of the Argentine Rural Society
Eloisa Frederking was born in Buenos Aires, in 1972, and grew up in a family of agricultural producers. His appointment marks a before and after in the history of the entity, since this is the first time that a woman holds a position of that magnitude.
With more than 20 years of experience, he began his union journey in local rural societies and CREA. Over the years it stood out with a fundamental role in bringing together other producer associations.
The brand new vice president had held the position of secretary of the Board of Directors since 2021 and had been representing the entity in the World Farmers Organization (WCO)forming part of its Board of Directors, starting this year.
Two years ago, when asked about holding a position in Rural, he responded: ”Nowadays I imagine it as a totally viable possibility. Older people still have a hard time accepting that. It has happened to me that I arrive at a meeting and, when I say that I am Secretary of the Rural SocietyThey think I’m Nicolás Pino’s assistant. It was difficult for them to understand that the position was held by a woman. “Young people don’t understand at all that there is a difference between men and women.”
