The Dominican-American National Roundtable, the leading advocacy group for the empowerment of Dominicans in the US and Puerto Rico, announced that it has appointed Victor F. Capellan as its new president, effective 19 February 2007. Capellan succeeds Cid Wilson, who declined to seek re-election so he could focus on civic obligations in New Jersey, and will continue in an advisory capacity to the new president. "I am deeply honored and blessed to have the opportunity to lead the Dominican-American National Roundtable as we spread our mission of empowerment of Dominicans and Latinos across America," said Victor Capellan. Capellan was DANR's first president in 1997. Victor Capellan is the principal of EBC Bushwick High School for Public Service in Brooklyn, New York. He is serving in his third year as principal after his associate director position at the Office of New Schools in the central headquarters of the Department of Education.
Capellan was formerly the facilitator of the Student Registration Center with the Providence School Department and also served as Executive Director of the Center for Hispanic Policy and Advocacy in Providence, Rhode Island. He served on the boards of Rhode Island Hospital, the Providence Public Library, and chaired the board of the Rhode Island Housing Mortgage and Finance Corporation. He attended the University of Rhode Island where he earned a Bachelors Degree in Political Science. He also holds a Masters Degree in Human Development and Family Studies as well as a Masters in Education from the University of Rhode Island. Capellan was born in Santiago.
