Maximiliano Alvarado Ramírez assumes the presidency of the Banco Nacional board, following recent administrative changes.
The Banco Nacional de
Costa Rica has announced the appointment of its new Board of Directors, with Maximiniano Alvarado Ramírez taking the position of president and Noylin Cruz Suárez serving as vice president.
The appointments were disclosed in a press release on June 5, 2023, following a restructuring necessitated by a recent resignation.
In its inaugural session, the new board also elected Rolando Saborío Jiménez as secretary.
The board is now composed of directors María Brenes Quesada, María del Milagro Solórzano León, Anabelle Chaves Soto, and Randall Monge Saborío, who was appointed following the resignation of Alejandro Solórzano on June 2.
The Banco Nacional explained that the resignation left the board unable to validly convene until the appointment of Monge on June 3, which restored the necessary quorum for conducting official business.
The legal criteria for quorum were outlined by the Banco Nacional’s Legal Department, stipulating the minimum number of members required to be present for valid proceedings.
This newly established Board of Directors will serve on a temporary basis until the conclusion of a public competition for the appointment of permanent directors.
