The Team
All of us at ADRISS work to achieve a balance between conservation and sustainable development in our villages.
We are in charge of guiding the management of the group and acting as intermediaries between the public administrations and the rural environment.
We support projects, we supervise them, but above all, we promote the practice of local development with the characteristics that are recognised in the European rural area.
We develop and implement new initiatives, with innovation as a principle.
We support, promote and encourage all kinds of cultural and scientific activities related to Sustainable Development, Social Dynamisation and the defence of the Natural, Cultural and Artistic Heritage of the region.
We provide assistance and advice, and are committed to helping the most vulnerable groups.
We believe in training, information and cooperation as a means to boost employment and entrepreneurship.
We are here to generate the endogenous development of the Salamanca Mountain Ranges.
Teamwork is the ability to work together towards a common vision.
Technical Management Office
In order to improve the development of the group's management, we have a Technical Management Office made up of 6 workers specialised in the lines of action on which we work.
Juan Bautista Alonso Martín
He comes from Salamanca. His duties are:
- Detect and unite different wills in search of a common objective, to improve the living conditions of the inhabitants of the Mountain Ranges.
- To outline, update and implement, together with the technical team, Board of Directors and participating partners, the Adriss Strategy in the area.
- Coordinate the Technical Team.
"In the end, in the rural environment, as in any social group, different wills and social profiles coexist, our work aims to focus on creating meeting places where all wills can be expressed to achieve a common goal. And, above all, we believe that we can contribute work to be part of the solution (and not part of the problem) by offering services that make life easier for the greatest number of inhabitants of the Salamanca Mountain Ranges".

Governing and management organs
The governing and management organs of ADRISS are: The General Assembly and the Executive Committee.In both structures, the main public, economic and social actors in the area of action are represented.
The General Assembly
The General Assembly of Members is the supreme organ of expression of the will of the association and shall be composed of all the members. Its internal organisation and functioning shall be democratic and respectful of plurality.
ADRISS' system of associationism is regulated by the Organic Law 1/2002, of 22 March, regulating the Right of Association.
The number of ADRISS members is 449, the numerical importance of the Association must be added to the balance of its representativeness in a double sense:
- All the most representative social and economic sectors of the territory are represented.
- This representation of the county's social and economic fabric is not evenly distributed numerically, with a notable predominance of business groups and, to a lesser extent, public entities.
Thus, business groups account for 65% of members, individuals for 14%, public operators for 9%, non-public groups for 7% and communities of property for 5%. These figures highlight the participation of all "local actors": associations, town councils, women, young people, entrepreneurs, promoters, AEDL, CEAS, etc., who are the driving force and expression of local development and are, in fact, the protagonists of social dynamisation.
ADRISS members can be natural and legal persons, local entities such as Town Councils, Associations, Cooperatives, other associations of cultural, agricultural, rural, business content...
The Board of Directors
It is the permanent governing organ of ADRISS. It is composed of 15 members:
- 7 Representatives of public entities.
- 8 representatives of private entities, of which 6 represent economic sectors and 2 represent social groups, distributed as follows:
