&lt;p>The constitutive assembly brought together 16 founding members, participating both in person and remotely, alongside two representatives of the Municipality of Fermo: &lt;strong>Annalisa Cerretani&lt;/strong> (Councillor for Tourism) and &lt;strong>Alberto Scarfini&lt;/strong> (Councillor for Budget and Youth Policy).&lt;/p>
&lt;h2 id="what-is-fermo-ambassador">What is Fermo Ambassador?&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>Fermo Ambassador is a non-profit association (&lt;em>Associazione di Promozione Sociale&lt;/em>) whose mission is to connect people with deep ties to the city of Fermo and its province who, over the course of their lives, have lived and worked outside the Marche region. The aim is to channel the relationships, expertise and experiences of this global network back into concrete opportunities and connections that benefit the local territory.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Membership is open to those who have had residence or domicile outside the Marche region for a significant period, building professional and personal networks that can contribute to the development of Fermo and its province.&lt;/p>
&lt;h2 id="board-of-directors">Board of Directors&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>The assembly elected the following &lt;strong>Board of Directors&lt;/strong> (&lt;em>Consiglio Direttivo&lt;/em>) for the first two-year mandate:&lt;/p>

&lt;/table>
&lt;h2 id="a-personal-note">A Personal Note&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>It is a great honour to have been elected President of Fermo Ambassador. As someone who has lived in London for many years while remaining deeply connected to Fermo, this association embodies exactly the kind of bridge I have always hoped to help build — between those of us who have left the city to pursue careers and lives abroad, and the community that shaped us.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>I look forward to working with the board, the founding members, and the Municipality of Fermo to make this association a real force for cultural, social and economic exchange. 2026 begins with exciting work ahead.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
