The board of directors of the Santos Dumont Institute (ISD), a Social Organization linked to the Ministry of Education located in Macaíba (RN), presented on Wednesday morning (24/8), the biannual report on the execution of the management contract to the Administrative Council of the institution. The report contains performance indicators and targets, which will be evaluated by the Management Contract Monitoring and Evaluation Committee established by the MEC. Of the 11 current indicators, the ISD showed a trend of reaching 10 in the first half of 2022, with a trend of partial reach for one of them. 

Monitoring of ISD actions is carried out every six months, and consists of evaluating the progress of actions in relation to the institution's expected results, previously agreed with the MEC, with the aim of correcting directions or preventing the occurrence of events that compromise the achievement of objectives. .

“The Board of Directors is our highest authority for analysis, discussion and decision-making on the most important and strategic issues for ISD’s operations. Our advisors have different representative profiles, all capable of adding valuable contributions to qualify and strengthen our operations. Sharing the results of the first half of the year is extremely important to assess whether we are in the right direction to achieve our goals and objectives and, for this, the Board has a crucial role. Today's discussions brought us this direction and we remain confident that we will achieve what we aim for in 2022”, says the General Director of ISD, Reginaldo Freitas Júnior. 

New advisors 

In addition to presenting the biannual report on the management contract, ISD welcomed two new members to its Board of Directors at the meeting: doctor Marcos de Sousa Ferreira, General Coordinator of Health Residencies (CGRS/DGRHUS) of the Labor Management Secretariat and Health Education, appointed by the Ministry of Health, and doctor Érico Gurgel Amorim, assistant professor at the Multicampi School of Medical Sciences at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (EMCM/UFRN), member of the collegiate coordination of the work group on disability and accessibility of the Brazilian Public Health Association (ABRASCO). “I was delighted with the presentation, especially with regard to the health care of people with disabilities, an area that is very dear to me due to the research I have carried out over the years related to physical, hearing and visual disabilities”, he said Marcos Ferreira.

Professor Érico Amorim had previously collaborated with the institution, from the Consultative Committee created by ISD to meet the demands related to blind people in the rehabilitation care line for people with visual impairments. “We are going to work so that the principles, the bases that motivate the functioning of the ISD, become increasingly stronger”, highlighted Érico. 

“We are very happy with the admission of the new advisors, professors Marcos and Érico, confident that they both have great potential for collaboration with the Institute, are aligned with our values and, above all, determined to embrace the mission we have embraced as their own” , highlighted the Director General of ISD.
