YOPA Hails vonBallmoos’ ISSA Election as Commission Chair
Meanwhile, a youth advocacy group, Youth for Progress and Action (YOPA), based in the City of Brewerville in Montserrado County has welcome and hailed Mr. vonBallmoos’ election as chairman of the of the Technical Commission on Contribution Collection and Compliance of the International Social Security Association (ISSA).
YOPA, said Mr. vonBallmoos was elected to the ISSA position due to his international footprint which is as compelling as his national impact. The group adds, “As Vice Chairperson of the ISSA Technical Commission on ICT in 2017, and now Chair of the Technical Commission on Investment of Social Security Funds, he took Liberia’s voice to global platforms.”
YOPA went on to say that vonBallmoos pushed for the adoption of smart technologies and sound investment practices across member states and his work on the Technical Bureau of ISSA is a continuation of his belief that good governance, transparency, and innovation must be the bedrock of all social protection systems—everywhere.
Concluding, YOPA intones that behind the titles and statistics, is a man deeply committed to his country and its people. “Mr. vonBallmoos’ leadership is marked not just by systems built and policies passed, but by the everyday reality that NASSCORP now works for the people it serves. He is accessible, principled, and focused. He listens, recalibrates, and acts. He is not a leader of show, but of substance.”
YOPA says it was these qualities that promoted ISSA to elect Mr. vonBallmoos as chairman of the of the Technical Commission on Contribution Collection and Compliance of the International Social Security Association (ISSA). “We are confident that Mr. vonBallmoos will perform to his utmost fullest as he has always been a remarkable and professional leader, manager and social security protection expert.”
