The First Lady of Bogotá is the title held by the Social managerofBogotá, generally the spouse of the Mayor of Bogotá, coinciding with the mayor's mandate. Among her functions as a social manager are the promotion and formulation of social policies for the benefit of the most disadvantaged populations.[1]
Although traditionally the spouse of the mayor of Bogotá fulfills the functions of Social Manager, these functions can be replaced by another person completely different from his or her spouse, in cases where the mayor is not married or is widowed.[2]
Carolina Deik is the current first lady of Bogotá as wife of the current Superior mayor of Bogotá, Carlos Fernando Galán.
