Dr. Trabanco confirmed as President of Puerto Rican Federation

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, September 20, 2016 – Dr. Cesar Trabanco was confirmed as the new president of the Puerto Rican Volleyball Federation after a meeting held at the premises of the institution.

The other members of the Executive Committee are Dr. Anthony Melendez as First Vice President, Anivette Rodriguez, General Secretary, and Cesar Muñiz, Treasurer. Besides, Leyre Santaella was announced as supervisor of the Men’s League.
