Plasencia, chairman and CEO of Republica. "Republica is blessed to have experienced growth in this economy thanks to our extraordinary clients and employees. To whom much is given, much is expected, and in that spirit, we are thrilled to launch Republicares, an effort that allows us to make a significant difference for an organization in need of making its mark."
