Doran noted that a leadership change offers an opportunity to build on the foundation laid by those who came before while bringing fresh perspectives and renewed energy to the organization.

“Every new chapter brings its own challenges and opportunities. What matters most is remaining focused on the people, listening to their concerns, and working toward meaningful progress. I trust that Mr. Cicilia will approach this responsibility with the dedication it deserves,” he added.

MP Doran concluded by wishing Cicilia wisdom, strength, and continued success as he assumes his new responsibilities, and by extending his best wishes to the AVP as it moves forward under its new leadership.
