Jaume Vilamajó, president of Andorra's ARPA animal rescue association, will resign due to health issues and
work demands, while planning to stay involved informally.
Key Points
- Vilamajó, 59, steps down from ARPA presidency in October over health (knees, shoulders, back) and time constraints.
- Will remain in chat group and aid rescues if new board approves.
- ARPA bylaws require board renewal every four years via October assembly.
- Tenure focused on advancing animal welfare in Andorra.
Jaume Vilamajó, president of Andorra's ARPA animal rescue and protection association, announced yesterday that he will step down from his position in October due to health concerns and insufficient time to meet his responsibilities.
The 59-year-old pointed to physical ailments affecting his knees, shoulders, and back, combined with intense demands at his company, as key factors limiting his ability to attend meetings and manage media duties. He intends to remain active in the association's chat group and support rescue operations, subject to approval by the incoming board.
ARPA's bylaws mandate board renewals every four years. An October assembly will allow members to review financial reports and projects, nominate candidates, or vote for the new leadership.
Vilamajó's exit concludes his current term, during which the volunteer organization has prioritized animal welfare initiatives throughout the Principality.
