Lara Garrido-Herrero said goodbye to EPHA

Of all the projects we’ve had together, it is safe to say that the new layout for epha’s website, albeit fun and important, somehow slept too low on our TODO list. We however did manage to launch the new layout on time, for her last executive committee. I hope you still like it, as that’s going to be one of the visible result of your time at epha.

Did I secure an invitation to visit you in Panama ? ;)

Thanks for your energetic presence and breathtaking speed of no-nonsens thinking and talking.

They have crocodiles in Panama - you probably didnt know that - big hungry ones...

Dear Lara,

I have had a great time getting to know you a little bit better through EPHA work. Your passion for EPHA (as an Alliance and as the team who keeps it alive and kicking), your hardworking capacity and your sense of humor has made it an excellent experience!

I wish you all the best in Panama and please do keep in touch!

Mucha suerte! Ivana

Hey Lara

Well, I guess all I can say is the same as all the messages here: you will really be greatly missed in EPHA. The ExCo has been a great opportunity for me to get to know you a bit better and it really has been a pleasure working with you.

I hope that we will be able to stay in touch and that you will often be back to visit. And should I make it to Panama...I will not fail to touch base with you!

Best of luck and lots of success! Dearbhal

Dear Lara,

It has been a pleasure to work with you, and learn from you for a few years. I am convinced that you’ll be a brilliant health (or else) advocate, out there in Panama, full of energy and dynamism, as usual.

I’d like to wish you the best of luck for you new adventures, ... but you don’t need luck!

xx Anne

Dear Lara,

It was nice to meet you and work with you for EPHA. Thank you very much for introducing me to the health NGO community in Brussels. I wish you all the best in Panama. I hope you will come back to Brussels after some time to take a new leadership role here.

Take care,

Hello and goodbye. May you have good memories of your stint in the EPHA and may you find more opportunities to continue serving people - probably this time, throughout the world. I’m with Project C.A.R.E.S. and in case you have a chance to visit Philippines, please call on me. It would be a great opportunity to make acquaintance with a person whose life is being dedicated to people-service. Our website is www.projectcares.tk You are most welcome to extend your expertise to our humble organization. Take care!

Hi Lara,

We’ve known each other so long that I remember you arriving at EPHA (oh dear that means we are both getting old...). I always enjoyed working with you when I was at PGEU. There are so many things to remember, e.g. do you remember the health claims event in the EP when the room was a complete mess 5 minutes before the MEPs were supposed to arrive and all the EP staff had disappeared because it was later than 17.30? But we managed in the end didn’t we?

You never wavered in your motivation and enthusiasm for public health in Europe and hopefully you’ll still carry this in your heart in Panama.

Stay in touch!

un abrazo

Rebecca
