Santo Domingo. – For the first time in history, a president of the Commission of American Affairs (CAAm) of the International Union of Notaries (UINL) visited the headquarters of the Dominican College of Notaries, with the aim of getting to know its institutional performance up close.
This is Dr. Homero López Obando, who was received in Santo Domingo by the president of the guild, Dr. Jhon Richard Paniagua Feliz, along with the members of the Board of Directors and notaries from different branches of the country.
During the tour of the institution’s different areas and departments, Dr. López Obando positively valued the progress of the Dominican notary, highlighting the modernization, the union strength, and the leadership vision of the current management. He assured that this work constitutes an example of commitment and international projection for the entire region.
Doctor López Obando, president of the Ecuadorian Federation of Notaries since 2016 and of the Commission of American Affairs of the UINL since 2023, shared impressions in a fraternal environment, reaffirming the importance of the exchange of experiences to strengthen the notarial function in the continent.
Your visit is part of the celebration of the XXXVIII National Notarial Conference and the XI International Notarial Conference: “Notaries in the New Millennium”, dedicated this year to Dr. Rhadys Iris Abreu Blondet, one of the most influential figures in Dominican and continental notarial practice.
Dr. Abreu Blondet presided over the Dominican College of Notaries between 1985 and 1987 and had an outstanding role in the UINL at the head of the Commission of American Affairs, which she directed in two periods (1993-1995 and 1996-1998). In 2007 she was recognized as honorary president. Her leadership was decisive in strengthening the guild in the country and projecting its influence in the international notary community.
