Martín Forcade

Candidate for President

"I believe I would be a good fit for this role because I am naturally supportive, collaborative, and genuinely interested in the concerns of others," Martín commented. He enjoys bringing people together and building teams where everyone feels heard and included.

Having been part of the school community for several years, Martín understands both its needs and its possibilities. He has had the chance to connect with many families over time, and he truly values the sense of community and the great ideas—especially on the social side—that people bring."I would love to contribute with a positive, committed attitude and help strengthen the connection among families and the school." 

Maximiliano Valente 

Candidate for Vice President

"I am applying for the position of Vice President with a strong desire to get involved and contribute in a close and committed way to the school community," Maximiliano shared. 

This is his child’s first year at the school, and that motivates him even more. Maximiliano is at a stage of learning, integrating, and building relationships. He believes that being able to support this process from an active role is a great opportunity to contribute and grow alongside other families. Although he comes from a background where organization and planning are important, he intends to contribute through common sense, listening, and respect. "I am interested in making the monthly meetings useful spaces where ideas, concerns, and proposals can be shared clearly and constructively."

Maximiliano considers himself someone open to dialogue, willing to collaborate, and focused on finding simple and practical solutions. He seeks to support, facilitate, and help things flow in the best possible way. He believes the value of this role lies in fostering closeness, trust, and teamwork, always keeping in mind what matters most: the well-being of the children and the quality of the educational environment we share. "I am committed to participating with responsibility, openness, and a positive attitude, understanding that everyone can contribute from their own place."

Yesica Servidio

Candidate for Treasurer

Yesica is an accountant and the current PAL treasurer.  "We've improved a lot by accepting transfers, and also reducing costs on events… everything has been more transparent and much more accountable than in previous years," she commented. 

Juan Pablo Garaguso

Candidate for Communications Director

Juan Pablo is an HR Business Partner. "Having been a part of the Lincoln community since the Class of '97, I am deeply committed to our shared values," he shared. With 13 years of HR leadership across multinationals and a Big 4 firm, he has mastered the art of high-stakes communication—ensuring clarity, empathy, and strategic alignment in complex environments.

"Communication should be bold, intentional, and impossible to ignore. I offer a unique blend of professional rigor and alumni passion, ready to ensure every voice at Lincoln is heard, valued, and effectively represented."
