It is already official. The CEOE President, Antonio Garamendi, has joined the Spanish Sports Advisory Council, CADE, as a full member, in a new gesture that conveys the need for public-private collaboration for a new stage in our Sport.
Jorge Garbajosa, President of CADE, has introduced Garamendi in his first meeting in which everyone had the opportunity to exchange reflections with the Secretary of State for Sports, José Manuel Franco.
Franco explained the objectives of the CSD and indicated that “we are delighted to welcome CADE, with great friends such as Jaime Lissavetzky and prominent professionals from our sports and business fields.

For his part, Garbajosa thanked the Superior Sports Council for their collaboration with CADE, remarking that “the new model of Sports that we want to build together needs us to agree with public institutions and private companies, and we are in it.
