Roque Calvo joined ECS in 1980 as the accounting supervisor, managing the financial operations for the headquarters office. After two years, he was promoted to assistant executive secretary. In 1990, as then executive secretary V.H. (Bud) Branneky prepared for retirement, a search committee was established to find the individual who would fill that role and lead the Society into the future.
Calvo took the role of executive secretary in 1991, just the fourth person to hold that title in the Society’s then 88-year history. The title was changed to executive director in 1994.
His position would prove over the next three decades to hold significant importance in guiding the Society through a technological shift, which changed the landscape for many nonprofit organizations.
