María del Carmen Gómez, New President of the AECC in Mijas

The mayor of Mijas, Ana Mata, and the provincial president of the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC), Joaquín Morales, introduced yesterday the new president of the entity in Mijas, María del Carmen Gómez. A woman deeply connected to the municipality and recognized in the hospitality industry, as reported by the City Council in a press release. A committed entrepreneur, María del Carmen Gómez has developed extensive experience in administrative management and human resources within the hospitality sector. But beyond her professional role, she has always maintained a close relationship with the Spanish Association Against Cancer, continuously collaborating both personally and as a volunteer, as well as in her role as a supportive businesswoman. Her involvement and desire to help have been decisive in accepting this new challenge, which she assumes with enthusiasm and a firm intention to continue promoting support for cancer patients and their families in the municipality. "I accepted the position because I have always collaborated with the Association and I love helping people," Gómez stated. Among her most immediate goals, the new president highlights the creation of a local headquarters in La Cala de Mijas, a space that will bring the Association's services and programs closer to the entire population. "We want to be closer to the patients and their families, offer support, and promote prevention, including the large foreign community residing in the area," she explained. For her part, the mayor congratulated the new president and highlighted the great work done by the AECC: "The work carried out by this entity is not only worthy of gratitude, it is also very necessary because it reaches where many times public administrations cannot."
