Sylvia Miranda installed as president of the Cervantes Society
As the Cervantes Society of the New York State Courts gets set to celebrate its 25th year as an association, it will do so with a new president as Sylvia Miranda was installed as its leader during a ceremony in Manhattan last November.
Miranda replaces Major Luz Bryan as president of the society. Miranda said that she was shocked and surprised when Bryan suggested that she might step down as the long-time president.
“I think a lot of people were surprised,” Miranda said. “She told me that she thought it was time for her to turn over the reins and to take the organization to the next level. I know it was a difficult decision on her part and it’s a responsibility that I don’t take lightly. It gives me confidence that she trusted me.”
