Brazil’s language travel and exchange association Belta announced its new board members in May, where the body inaugurated director of TravelMate Alexandre Argenta as its new president.
Alongside Argenta, director of Just & ETC Intercâmbios Neila Chammas will be financial director, CEO of Yázigi Travel Maura Leão institutional relations director and director of ViaMundo Antonio Bacelar Jr operations director.
Elected in late May, the new board will run until 2024.
“As a businessman and as a person, I saw the importance of the collective in the last year,” Argenta said.
“My line of action is objective and focused on results. I will maintain the institutional line of the Belta Bylaw, focusing on the commercial in a way that is positive for everyone.
“I hope to be able to help and share new ideas to conquer our space more and more in this resumption that is already happening. I am confident that the next two or three years will be better than ever.”
