Guest Speaker Carlos F. Fighetti -- AOS President
Carlos Fighetti has been involved in orchids for more than 30 years. He has served on the Board of the American Orchid Society for the past nine years, five years as a Trustee and four years as the nonprofit organization's Vice-President. He was a member of the AOS's Affiliated Society Committee for eight years; a member of the Information Committee for four years (three as its Chair); and currently serves as a member of the Library and Archives Committee, of which he was Chair for two years. Carlos has also been a member of the Finance Committee for the past five years. In addition, he has volunteered his time as a member of two Nominating Committees of the Society.
He is the past President and a current Trustee of the Greater New York Orchid Society, where he also served for eight years as show Chair of the prestigious New York International Orchid Show. In addition, he is a Trustee of the Ramapo Orchid Society, and a member of the North Jersey Orchid Society, the Manhattan Orchid Society, the Puerto Rican Orchid Society and the Peruvian Orchid Society. Carlos was the founding president and is a current director of the International Phalaenopsis Alliance.
An accredited AOS Judge, Carlos has amongst his judging experiences two World Orchid Conferences, the Tokyo Grand Prix Orchid Show, the Taiwan show and several Latin American shows. He has lectured about orchids all over the USA and Canada, as well as at many international venues.
Carlos lives in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, where he grows approximately 1,200 orchid plants. He grows a mixed collection, although “I now have quite a few species." A grower of note, his plants have received more than 90 awards from the AOS for horticultural, flower quality and cultural merits, including three FCCs. He has also received eight AOS show trophies and many other awards for exhibits at orchid shows around the country.
Professionally, Carlos retired as a Senior Research Associate of the Engineering School at Columbia University, where he was the Director of a well-known research laboratory working on nuclear reactor safety. "The main emphasis was in determining the integrity of the reactor cores and the meltdown levels for normal operating, as well as accident conditions for just about every nuclear reactor in the world, including the Russian designs," says Carlos.
With that professional background, it should come as no surprise that Carlos feels that "the success of any organization lies in the ability to keep up with the times and embrace modern technology. The AOS, through its leadership and committees, is always looking for effective ways to stay in the forefront and be able to offer members the latest and best information on orchids. As long as we do this, we will continue to grow as an organization."
Carlos and his wife, Maria Teresa, have three children, and enjoy cooking and gardening. Carlos is also a keen collector of orchid books and stamps.
