The Managers of the De Rosa Organisation meet again for a “Year End Seminar”

In 2001 too, from December 11 to 13, Santiago Coca, Executive Director of the De Rosa Organisation chaired a special meeting, called the “Year End Seminar” (YES), where all the Managers of the De Rosa Organisation attended, with the only exception of José Cano, Managing Director of De Rosa Novedades, who was absent because of ill-health. The meeting was held at “El Escorial”, the site of the “Real Monasterio de San Lorenzo”, about 50km out of Madrid, Spain. The aim of this Seminar is to sum-up the achievements of each company in the year that is going to finish and have a preview of the main goals for the following.
The De Rosa Group Managers made their presentations, outlining activities, achievements and results of their respective companies in 2001 and gave detailed information abut the key
elements of their 2002 Business Plans. All the information presented have been then updated with the 2001 final data and gathered in a “2001 YES Report” available for the Afinsa Board of
Directors as well, for their information and reference.
On the third morning of the meeting, all the people attending the YES took the opportunity to take an excursion to “El valle de los caídos” (The Fallen’s valley), a Spanish Civil War Memorial. They shared together a few relaxed hours, spending the morning visiting this historical place.
