President

 

For most of my life, I have been involved in civic and public works. I will present some of these works to you below. However, I want it to be known that there are many things that I cannot write and explain. That I can say that I have tried to come together with many segments of society since 1997. I receive the return of most of these associations today. What I see is; Being able to sit at the same table and talk is the first step in reconciliation and walking together. 

One of the biggest truths I believe is that when people come together with their differences, there is very little they can't fix or improve. The realization and systematization of this reality is my greatest philosophy. 

The values ​​that I will adopt as a principle for myself are; 

Respect for differences, 

Transparency and accountability, 

To give importance to local participation as in the center, 

teamwork, 

Giving importance to education, 

To strengthen entrepreneurship, 

Developing partnerships 

To strengthen the facilitator role, 

and to contribute to transforming the difficulty of volunteering into a basic principle.
