Today, during the
@uclg_org annual Retreat, Metropolis held its first Board of Directors meeting of 2025. The Board voted to welcome Rabat Mayor Fatiha El Moudni as President, along with new members and our first associate member.
After paying tribute to the outgoing president, Mr. Barthélémy Dias, for his dynamism and visionary leadership, El Moudni stated: "I'm proud to acknowledge that the presidency of our organization will continue to be occupied by an African leader. We are halfway through our mandate, and our mission remains more resolute than ever. We will celebrate our achievements and reflect on future challenges together in our 40th Anniversary Congress later this year. Let's uphold our commitment and make Metropolis a driving force for a more equitable and resilient future for all communities."
With these milestones, we look forward to a year of collaboration, impact, and global engagement.
