Uccaep opens call for employer representative to CCSS Board

The Union of Chambers (Uccaep) has initiated a process to select a new employer representative for the Board of Directors of the Costa Rican Social Security Fund (CCSS). This move is part of an effort to enhance transparency and mitigate the distortion of public discourse, particularly concerning the selection of key positions within social security institutions.

Interested candidates can submit their applications until July 23. Uccaep has indicated a preference for individuals possessing expertise in law, health, or finance, recognizing the complex nature of the CCSS's operations and the strategic importance of its board. The selection aims to bring in qualified professionals who can contribute effectively to the governance and strategic direction of the social security system.

The organization emphasizes that this open call is designed to ensure a fair and open selection process, preventing undue influence or manipulation through anonymous or automated means. By opening the application window, Uccaep seeks to foster a more informed and robust public debate surrounding the appointment, aligning with broader goals of accountability and good governance within public institutions.
